Won’t turn left

Have you tried the games settings first of all? steering linearity needs to be at 50?

My wheel is ok for 30 seconds then it uncontrollably turns right-%#*@ unusable and annoying it is, so ive got the top off and a lefthand side bit of plastic holding the main spindle/wheel coloumn has broken off and was rattling about in it so the wheel moves up and down more.

Hi Daniel, still got one?

I have replaced potentiometer.

Costed….. 0.5 USD, not exactly same but fits. Some tears, blood, sweat, assembled, adjusted, working like a charm. Original potentiometer in the centre of the wheel was a cheap, plastic, nothing has been left from the original circuit, caused that steering has became woobly, and not possible to drive exept in drift mode, finally stopped turning to the one direction.

If you got soldering skills and some tools for cutting plastic (knife can hardly fit) you can do it by yourselves.

10-12 kohm resistance and ability to turn in all directions without limits - this is prerequisite for potentiometer.

Mine got a block preventing turning more, opened it and removed piece of plastic that was a blocker.

Good luck.
