    Hy guys, I'd like to shop around for a used GTS steering wheel from a wrecked car to replace the plastic wheel in my ES. But does anyone know whether the Otlander steering wheel is an exact fit also? It looks to be the same wheel in pictures, but I just want to be sure before I buy one.

    Yes, I want to put leather seats in my car, but that would feel kinda dorky with a plastic steering wheel.

    I hear the the new outlanders and new lancers are built off the same platform. So theoretically it should fit, I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't

    yeah thats right...I read it somewhere that the 9G lancer was also the base design for the outlander...yet the outlander came out first than the lancer...try goin to the dealer and look at interior similarity...

    try looking up the specs and do a comparison from that. and going to the dealer to ask is a good idea. given that they're not idiots. lol...some are

    I went to two dealers. One played that nasty assed hard-sell game where they're always going back to see what their "sales manager" says and fast talking to try and confuse you and get you to agree to terms you would never agree to under ordinary circumstances. The other dealer was very laid back. Didn't even seem that worried about making the sale.

    In the end I went with the second guy, and got the car I wanted for a better price than the first guy.

    Interestingly, the second guy doesn't seem to be working there any more. Not sure why.

    Called a couple of junk yards. Some near misses. It'll only be a matter of time, I'm sure, before I locate a decent used one.

    oh btw u think we gotta change the airbag if we swap?

    If you find one for sale with the airbag then you can use that one. However, I guarantee that it'll be much, much cheaper to buy a steering wheel with a blown bag.
