Notes

Racing wheels combine motors, sensors, and pedal potentiometers that can wear from heavy sim use. Repair is worth considering for pedal sensor cleaning/replacement and cable or power issues if parts are available.

Replace if force feedback becomes erratic, internal gears/motors fail, or calibration drift persists across different systems-those failures often require major disassembly. Keeping the wheel dust-free and avoiding cable strain helps reduce intermittent connection problems.
