    great vid. quick question, when reinstalling the steering wheel, how much pressure do you put to ensure it sits on the column the way it is supposed to? Should it be as deep so the column and steering wheel splines are flush or there will be some depth left and after the install, I will still see the steering wheel splines that sit above the column?

    The wheel will bottom out on the splines and once torqued down it will not move. Hope this helps

    Yep! The same wheel is used on both models, so you will be able to swap it. I would make sure to keep the controls and buttons in the original car and not swap those, Subaru is known to change pinouts and things for no reason.

    Did the install, but to make the car go straight, I have to hold the wheel at a slight angle. Am I one tooth of fon the spine, or did I move the clock spring while installing (not sure if that matters)

    Unfortunately this is a common result of a steering wheel swap. OEM wheels do not specify a "top center" alignment of the splines on the steering wheel and the final alignment is always controlled by the full alignment service at the factory. Due to the high spline count, most people don't see this issue and usually are very close, but occasionally if the OEM wheel is a at the farthest point possible it will need an alignment to be corrected.

    Disconnect the battery, then remove the airbag again and double check that all 3 air bag wiring connectors (Orange, black, green wire spade connector) are connected and fully seated. If the problem persists, we recommend taking it to a certified mechanic.

    The inner casting on the FactionFab wheel is designed to be the same as the OEM wheel, which includes mounting points for all wheel models, including the CVT with paddle shifters. We have not shown this in our video as it is not the most popular choice, however all OEM options will bolt on.
