Hey all,

I just did this DIY on my B7 S4 and everything went pretty smoothly until I put everything back together. The problem I ran into is that I think I cranked the steering wheel down too much upon re-installation as it's now rubbing on the steering column trim pieces. It's rubbing pretty badly as well, to the point where there is some good resistance when turning the wheel. I've tried taking the wheel back off and sanding down portions of the column trim to allow it to slide back further and while it helped a little bit, it's still rubbing considerably.

At this point, I am entertaining getting a new steering wheel. Does it sound like I just cranked it down too hard when I re-installed it? If so, is there any known fix to this? In my search, I haven't been able to find much in the way of solutions regarding this particular issue.

Thanks in advance for the help!
