Steering Wheel Position

i just replaced my steering gear and trying to remember steering wheel neutral position?
spoke center up or down?

 

I used to put the spoke up toward the dash. I need to look at some old assembly line photos to see how they were on the line.

IMHO I like it with the spoke down. Find it feels nicer in the hands too.

 

I ran across that on a post on this forum a while back and snapped a screenshot. I couldn’t find the original post this morning when I looked.

 

I spoked mine up because it has a suicide knob.

 

I am a little OCD? so I would vote spoke down. On the other hand, you could put the spoke where your dominant driving hand rests on the wheel.

 

I accidentally installed mine with the spoke blocking the turn signal switch

 

Remember the old adage: spoke on top, please flipflop! Don’t be a clown, keep the spoke pointed down!



Actually I just made that up, but I vote for spoke down

 

Unlike most steering wheels, there isn't really an up or down. Position is irrelevant IMO.

 

x2. In fifty-plus years it never once occurred to me to worry about it.
