How to replace a racing steering wheel with one that has an airbag on a honda civic?

I found a 1992 Honda Civic SI that i want to buy, but the stock steering wheel was replaced with an after-market one. I know the stock steering wheel has an airbag, so I wanted to know how difficult and how much it would cost to put one in. Someone was telling me it could cost as much as $800 because I would have to have the whole steering column replaced, but that seemed a little much. (For those of you that are going to get on my head about this, this isn't my decision. My parents will only let me get a car with an airbag).

If there's an aftermarket steering column, unfortunately your friend is right, but it is probably not the steering column, but rather just the steering wheel. Meaning it won't cost you nearly that much probably like 100 - 200 bucks to pay a garage to do it.

  • What size is the steering wheel in a 2015 Honda Civic LX? I got a steering wheel cover for Christmas and there was no size anywhere on the packaging. When I put it on, it was hanging off my steering wheel. I want to order one off of etsy, but I can't find the size of the steering wheel anywhere in the owners manual and when I called the dealer, they didn't even know nor did they know how to measure the wheel properly to find out.
  • What does a noise coming from steering wheel of a 2011 Honda civic mean? The noise is coming from the inside of the car. It is right by the steering wheel. Every time i move the steering wheel even slightly it makes a slight faint noise. The steering wheel turns fine and is not stiff. The noise is definitely inside basically when I'm driving a slightly turning the wheel.
