Peterbilt 389 Glider Steering Parts & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Steering Parts & Acc.

What kinds of components are included in this category?

This category covers steering system parts and accessories for Peterbilt 389 glider kit trucks, including items such as steering wheels, steering columns, hydraulic steering assist components, tilt/telescopic hardware, horn buttons, steering wheel covers, and related mounting or trim pieces. These parts are designed to work with the steering setup used in Peterbilt 389 glider builds.

Will these steering parts fit my specific Peterbilt 389 glider build?

Glider kits can vary depending on the donor components and how the truck was assembled, so fitment is not always identical across every 389 glider. Before ordering, check the specifications listed on each product page and compare them to your existing steering column, mounting bracket, or steering box setup. If you are unsure, having your VIN or build sheet on hand can help confirm compatibility.

Are these replacement parts or upgrades over the original steering components?

We carry both. Some items are direct-fit replacement parts intended to match factory specifications, while others are aftermarket upgrades offering different styles, materials, or finishes, such as chrome, wood grain, or leather-wrapped steering wheels. Product descriptions will indicate whether an item is a factory-style replacement or a styling/performance upgrade.

What finish and material options are available for steering wheels and accessories?

Common options include chrome-plated metal, wood grain, leather-wrapped, and painted or textured plastic finishes. Material and finish affect both appearance and grip, so consider how the part will be used and how it should look in your cab before choosing. Finish details are listed on individual product pages.

Do I need professional installation for steering components?

Steering system parts are safety-critical, so we recommend installation by a qualified diesel technician or shop familiar with Peterbilt 389 glider builds, especially for components tied to the steering column, linkage, or hydraulic assist system. Cosmetic accessories like wheel covers or horn buttons are typically simple enough for most owners to install themselves.
