Steering column splines changed between 986 / 996 and 987 / 997 from memory, could this be a problem??

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Heya. So I've had issues with the horn for a while and finally figured it out The steering wheel doesnt seem to mount flush, making no contact with the horn. The picture shows how far the wheel goes. Am i missing something here? Metaphorically or literally. Any guidance would be appreciated

Original wheel or a replacement? Steering column splines changed between 986 / 996 and 987 / 997 from memory, could this be a problem??

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Original 4 spoke 944s wheel!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Solved! Turns out the hub just needed to be loosened and brought forward towards the wheel, rather than the other way around. Happy horn, roadworthy ready.
