Discuss washing, waxing and detailing information as well as interior/exterior cosmetic modifications. This includes neons, body, cosmetic wheels, etc. Even under the hood detailing.

weight behind airbag

Post by wast3dd3ath »

What does The weight behind the airbag on the steering wheel do? Can it be removed and left off with no ill effects?

It's a counterweight for the steering wheel so I wouldn't recommend removing it.
