{"product_id":"billet-aluminum-quick-release-steering-wheel-hub","title":"Billet Aluminum Quick Release Steering Wheel Hub","description":"The VMS Racing QR002 is a complete steering wheel hub and quick release solution designed for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic. This integrated unit eliminates the need to purchase separate components, offering a streamlined installation and setup.\n\nThe quick release mechanism allows for rapid detachment of an aftermarket steering wheel, which can help deter theft and improve vehicle access. It features a safety push pin mechanism to prevent accidental unlocking. The design is vehicle-specific for the 96-00 Civic, engineered to place the steering wheel at the same distance from the driver as the original steering wheel, avoiding the need for different-sized hubs to achieve the OE position. This quick release system adds approximately 10mm of space between the steering wheel and the stalk switches, which should not interfere with their operation. The twist-lock system is highlighted as one of the safest available.\n\nInstallation notes from users suggest that while generally straightforward, some adjustments may be necessary. One user reported needing to cut the steering wheel bolts as they were too long, preventing the collar from releasing. Another mentioned that a lack of instructions required trial and error, recommending that all alignment dots on the parts should face straight up and line up. A user also noted that if the quick release is difficult to engage or disengage, loosening the large allen key bolts behind the steering wheel half of the quick release can help. Applying dielectric grease to the engagement tabs can also facilitate the twisting action for locking and unlocking.","brand":"Vms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52664078795064,"sku":"QR002","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687536169.jpg?v=1784332922","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/billet-aluminum-quick-release-steering-wheel-hub","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
