Re: Steering wheel removal Mk3
Janspeeds are too noisy on a street car IMO.... we only used to fit them back in the day because they were cheap compared to the factory exhaust systems but a double S is easier to live with on a road car.

Forget about genuine Mazda idler arm bushes, they don't last 5 minutes and you will then have vague steering again.
