The steering wheel of an MX5 NB (1998 - 2000) is one of the parts where driver and car are in constant contact. Every steering movement, from a small correction on the highway to a quick turn-in on a twisty road, passes through this point. As a result, material, diameter and workmanship have a great deal of influence on the feeling behind the wheel. Through the steering gear and axle parts that ultimately transfer the motion to the front wheels, every steering input is translated to the road. On older cars, you often see wear developing on steering lining, seams or mounting parts, which can slowly lose the original feel.
