honeybadger Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi, I guess i have long legs and short arms because I find driving my 05 legacy a little uncomfortable. when i have my legs at a comfortable position, the steering wheel is too far away. I am wondering if there is a way to move it closer to me by an inch or two. i guess i can't use spacers because of the air bag and the light/wiper spokes will be too far away. Any ideas anyone?

I'm pretty sure everything above the extreme base 2.5i had it. 2.5i Special Editions at least have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybadger Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 has anyone taken off some of the panels below the steering wheel to see if a section of it could be "unbolted" and "rebolted" into a different position? maybe there is a spline connection somewhere which allows it to move telescopically when a few bolts are loosened. unlikely... but just maybe...
