Frequently Asked Questions About International LT Steering Parts & Acc.

What years and models are these steering parts compatible with?

Our International LT steering parts are designed to fit 2017 and newer International LT models. Most components are direct replacements for LT625, LT625 Day Cab, and LT625 Sleeper configurations. However, some aftermarket steering wheels and accessories may have broader compatibility. Always check the product description for specific year ranges, and contact our support team if you need help verifying fitment for your exact VIN.

Are these steering wheels and components made from the same materials as OEM parts?

Quality varies by manufacturer. Our OEM-replacement steering wheels feature polyurethane construction with steel cores, matching factory specifications. Aftermarket options range from genuine leather wraps to high-grade synthetic materials. Chrome-plated components use triple-plated processes for corrosion resistance. Each product listing specifies exact materials - look for details like "18-inch diameter," "4-spoke design," or "chrome-plated steel" to ensure you're getting the quality level you need.

What tools and experience level are needed for installation?

Most steering wheel replacements require basic hand tools including a steering wheel puller, socket set, and torque wrench. Installation typically takes 1-2 hours for someone with moderate mechanical experience. Critical safety note: the airbag system must be properly disconnected before removal. Steering column covers and trim pieces usually snap into place without special tools. For liability and warranty reasons, we recommend professional installation for any components affecting vehicle safety systems.

Do aftermarket steering wheels affect the airbag or cruise control functions?

This depends on the specific product. OEM-replacement steering wheels maintain all factory functions including airbag, cruise control, and audio controls. Some aftermarket wheels may require additional adapters or clock springs to retain these features. Products clearly marked as "airbag compatible" include proper mounting points and wiring connections. Always verify that any steering wheel replacement maintains your truck's safety features before purchasing.

What's the difference between chrome, black, and wood grain steering wheel options?

The core functionality remains the same, but each finish offers different benefits. Chrome wheels provide a classic look but may show fingerprints and can be cold or hot to touch in extreme weather. Black leather or synthetic wheels offer better grip and temperature stability. Wood grain options add a premium appearance but require more maintenance to prevent cracking or fading. Consider your climate, driving hours, and cleaning preferences when choosing. All options we carry meet DOT standards for safety and durability.
