The features of the steering wheel spacer for Subaru
The steering wheel spacer for Subaru is the perfect car device to ensure the steering wheel is close while driving.
It is a mechanical accessory, made of steel and aluminum machined from solid on electronically controlled machines, which is mounted between the steering wheel and the steering column, and brings the steering wheel closer by 5 cm.
This modification allows the driver to move the seat back to their liking, maintaining distance from the steering wheel but gaining plenty of legroom.
On Subaru models, there is a significant increase in the sensations of pleasure and comfort in driving.
In addition, it is the ideal solution for:
Move the steering wheel closer but leave the airbag and the original steering wheel controls active . Something that until now, with a goblet steering wheel, was not possible.
feel the machine better, because the spacer offers a better feeling of control and handling.
ensure a better driving position, especially for tall people, who can move the seat back a little but maintain their usual distance from the steering wheel, thus gaining legroom and improving action on the pedals.
Assemble the purchased product in a simple and reversible way: there are instructions, some video tutorials, and the spacer can be removed in the future, in case of resale of the car.

Fun facts about Subaru cars
I don’t know about you, but here for us Subaru = Rally. Strangely though, we’ve only owned versions per family: 3 generations of Foresters.
That didn’t stop us from developing the steering wheel spacer for the Forester as well and appreciating its qualities in everyday driving as well.
There are 4 spacers for Subaru in total, and some of them are shared with cars of the Mazda group and Toyota. But with only 4 spacers we can cover the entire Subaru range from 2000 onwards. This is simply because there are so many shared components within the same car manufacturer. Many we don’t see, such as brake discs, belts, water pumps, entire engines, transmission and body parts… but others do, such as the steering wheel.
For newer cars, with steering wheel controls, we’ve also developed wiring harnesses with original Subaru connectors, so you can conveniently stretch the wires inside the steering wheel with just a click, without the need to cut and lengthen the wires.
