Steering Wheels for Trucks
The steering wheel is the primary control component of a truck's steering system. Through the steering
wheel, the driver controls the truck accurately and safely on the road. Modern steering wheels not only
provide optimal grip and comfort but are also often equipped with multifunction controls for features such
as cruise control, infotainment, and onboard computers. A well-maintained steering wheel contributes to a
safe driving experience and optimal ease of operation during long journeys.
At BAS Parts & Tyres, you'll find a comprehensive range of steering wheels for trucks from various
makes and models. Whether you're looking for an original steering wheel, a multifunction steering wheel,
or a replacement for repair or refurbishment, you'll always find the right solution for your truck.
What is the function of a steering wheel?
The steering wheel transfers the driver's steering input to the steering column and ultimately to the
steering gearbox. This allows the front wheels to be steered accurately. In addition, the steering wheel
serves as the central control point for various functions that enhance comfort and safety.
Standard Steering Wheels
Standard steering wheels are designed for comfortable and ergonomic operation, providing optimal grip
during everyday use.
Multifunction Steering Wheels
Many modern trucks are equipped with multifunction steering wheels that allow functions such as cruise
control, phone operation, radio, and the onboard computer to be controlled directly from the steering wheel.
Leather Steering Wheels
Leather steering wheels provide extra comfort, a premium appearance, and a pleasant grip. They are widely
used in modern trucks and long-haul vehicles.
Why is a good steering wheel important?
A steering wheel should feel comfortable in the driver's hands and respond accurately to every steering
input. It also plays an important role in driver ergonomics and the safe operation of the truck.

When should a steering wheel be replaced?
Damaged Steering Wheel Rim
Cracks, wear, or peeling covering material reduce grip and comfort while driving.
Faulty Control Buttons
On multifunction steering wheels, defective switches or buttons can limit the operation of vehicle
functions.
Damage After an Accident
After a collision, the steering wheel may become damaged or deformed. Inspection and replacement are
important to ensure the safe operation of the steering system.
Cosmetic Wear
Intensive use can cause discoloration, damage, or wear to the steering wheel. Replacing it restores a
