How to Confirm Fitment Before Purchase
- Remove no parts until a competent person has compared your current steering wheel with these photographs.
- Match the grey three-spoke shape and the open-centre frame arrangement.
- Compare the rear hub depth, spline opening, mounting holes and plastic rear housing.
- Confirm that your existing airbag/horn pad and centre trim attach to the same points. These components are not included.
- Check every label or code on your original wheel. Do not treat the visible AUTOLIV code as a confirmed Proton part number unless your original code matches and a parts specialist confirms it.
- Send your registration/VIN plus clear front-and-rear photographs of the existing wheel through eBay Messages when you need assistance.
What This Part Does & Possible Fault Symptoms
Where it is fitted
Inside the driver’s cabin on the upper steering column. The wheel connects the driver’s hands to the steering-column mechanism and supports the correct compatible centre components.
Symptoms that may justify replacement
- Cracked, badly worn, sticky or slippery outer rim
- Loose movement between wheel and hub
- Damaged centre mounting points
- Rattles or movement caused by a damaged wheel frame
- Cosmetic deterioration that affects safe grip
Fitting Guidance — Professional Installation Recommended
Typical required tools
- Battery-terminal tools and insulated hand tools
- Trim-removal tools and the correct driver/Torx bits
- Socket set, ratchet and extension
- Torque wrench suitable for the manufacturer’s centre-fastener specification
- Steering-wheel puller if required by condition/design
- Paint marker for alignment reference
- SRS-capable diagnostic scan equipment
- Suitable PPE
High-level fitting sequence
- Park with the road wheels straight, switch off and follow the manufacturer’s battery-disconnection and SRS waiting procedure.
- Remove and store the existing airbag/horn-pad assembly strictly in accordance with workshop safety information.
- Mark the steering-wheel and shaft alignment. Protect the clock spring from rotation.
- Disconnect compatible wiring, remove the centre fastener and withdraw the old wheel without damaging the shaft or clock spring.
- Compare both wheels again, including spline, hub depth and all centre mounting points.
- Install the replacement in the original straight-ahead position and tighten using the exact Proton workshop torque specification. No torque value is guessed in this listing.
- Reassemble, reconnect the battery correctly, check steering centring and horn operation, and scan/verify the SRS warning system.
Estimated labour time: approximately 0.5–1.0 hour for an experienced technician when no seized parts, wiring faults, clock-spring damage, SRS faults or diagnostic complications are present.

Why Choose a Matching Used Donor Part?
Designed around the vehicle
A correctly matched donor wheel preserves the expected hub geometry, mounting layout, cabin appearance and feel. It must still be compared carefully because visual similarity alone is not proof of fit.
Potential cost saving
A used component can cost substantially less than a new dealer replacement. The exact saving varies with current availability, condition and new-part pricing and is not guaranteed.
Reuse supports recycling
Keeping a serviceable vehicle component in circulation can reduce waste and demand for newly manufactured replacement parts.
