Notes

A force-feedback racing wheel used for driving sims that relies on motors and sensors for realistic feel. Repairs can be worthwhile for power or minor control issues if the mechanical steering assembly is intact.

Replace when the force-feedback motor or main electronics fail, calibration drifts under load, or overheating and noise indicate deeper wear that will likely return.
