How To Adjust Your Ford Steering Wheel In 5 Steps

In today's article, I'll be showing you how to adjust the steering wheel in your Ford car. Adjusting the steering wheel can greatly improve your driving comfort and control, so let's get started.

Step 1: Locate the Lever

The first step is to locate the lever that adjusts the steering wheel. In most Ford cars, this lever is located on the underside of the steering column, near the driver's knee.

Step 2: Release the Lever

Once you've located the lever, pull it towards you to release the locking mechanism. You should hear a click or feel the lever release.

Step 3: Adjust the Steering Wheel

With the lever released, you can now adjust the steering wheel to your desired position. You can move it up or down, as well as towards or away from your body.

Step 4: Lock the Lever

Once you've adjusted the steering wheel to your desired position, push the lever back into place to lock it in position. You should hear a click or feel the lever lock into place.

Step 5: Test the Steering Wheel

After you've locked the lever, test the steering wheel to make sure it's in the correct position. You should be able to comfortably grip the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions. If the steering wheel feels too high or too low, or too close or too far away from your body, repeat the previous steps until you find a comfortable position.

Additional Tips for Adjusting Your Ford Steering Wheel

  • Don't adjust the steering wheel while driving - always pull over to a safe location first.
