Any help appreciated. > > Thanks Actually brothers, I think you may have already touched upon the answer regarding wear - have a close look around the ends for recent body work because one of the things that would explain a worn steering wheel is an older replacement with an intact air-bag. The airbag equipped NG900 has been around since 94 and there are a lot of working spares. This is nothing to worry about assuming it isn't packed with something other than an airbag and the body work is done properly and it may simply be that the steering wheel was cut during a theft to remove a wheel lock. Either way - time to start looking around for an sound independent wrench you can trust to give it a close check over to make sure it's working as advertised. Cheers - congrats on the purchase, while I've gone back to a 1993 9000 Aero - the NG900S is a particularly nice ride for it's era. Hoopy black-out switch is nice and around here the WeatherBand is lifesaver come fall and winter. If you ream out the bushing on a rear set of cheapo 9000 shocks a little bit and mount them - the handling improves considerably without adding harshness to the ride. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Universal Honey - Carey http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/124.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Dexter J's fab SAAB 900 for sale: http://www.dexterdyne.org/310.HTM
