the top 120 degree section of om old Volve 940's steering wheel is loose on the )steel) core.
It seems like the PO "worried" it loose by constantly twisting the steering wheel grip fore and aft.
I picture the steel core probably still has some rubber bonded to it. Or maybe not.
My though is to try inject some Loctite 401 or something similar at several locations to bond things back together. Maybe using a steel needled syringe, although 401 will probably bond everything together before I get the chance to withdraw the syringe.
I'm not keen on cutting slits in the OEM wheel covering, but I figure 5-10 punctured holes would be OK.
Especially since I'm likely going to install a thin cover to fatten up the wheel rim anyhow.
Any suggestions based on similar experience are appreciated.
