Works Bell RAPFIX Short Boss Steering Wheel Hub Kit 1993–2002 Legacy / 1997–2004 Forester / 1997–2002 Impreza | Billet Aluminum | Steering Wheel Hub Kit
Overview
The Works Bell RAPFIX Short Boss Steering Wheel Hub Kit is designed specifically for select Subaru Legacy, Forester, and Impreza models from the 1990s to early 2000s. This short hub kit enables the installation of Works Bell RAPFIX II or GT-C steering wheels, providing a direct and secure connection to your vehicle’s steering column. It is engineered for enthusiasts seeking a more engaging and customized steering feel while maintaining essential safety features.
Crafted from billet aluminum with a durable black plastic shroud, this hub kit incorporates the factory clock spring assembly to retain critical SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) functionality and horn operation. The design prioritizes plug-and-play installation with included SRS fixes such as the U-Turn Harness and horn plugs, ensuring compatibility with factory safety systems. However, it is important to note that additional steering wheel controls like cruise control and radio volume will be disabled when using this hub.
For Subaru owners, this short hub kit offers a refined steering position by reducing the distance between the wheel and driver, enhancing driving precision and feedback. While it is not recommended to use this hub alone due to potential interference with turn signal and windshield washer stalks, it pairs perfectly with Works Bell RAPFIX II or GT-C wheels to deliver a tailored driving experience without compromising safety or reliability.
