    The fit is accurate and it restores basic steering wheel functions. While it’s functional and reliable, the performance improvements are fairly standard. Installation was easy, but it’s worth noting that there aren’t any additional features or enhancements over the original. It’s a dependable replacement if you need a basic fix for your steering system.
