Why do you need a steering wheel from RDX? He's terribly thin.

It should work but you can also swap the electronic to the other steering wheel.

Do you think it’s true that he’s a brand new? Or did someone wash it well? I have 2 of these steering wheels at work. I'll see the difference.

Darn. Thank you so much for taking the time. They are completely different when you look at their mechanics. I was hoping I would be lucky enough to make it work. I miss having a pretty steering wheel.

I can confirm that the 4G TL and ZDX steering wheels are interchangeable. I purchased a TL SH-AWD steering wheel, which is the "sport" version that the TL SH-AWD and ZDX Advance received, that I swapped into my ZDX Tech. I value the extra girth of the sport variant, and believe it's a drastic difference compared to the base model.

most of the ones youll find on ebay are for the 3.5...the skinny version. The 3.7 is thicker.

New steering wheel is around $250, you'd have to swap over the switches and other items. My Cruise Control switch broke and it was fairly easy to swap it all out in the driveway. Make sure you undo battery to avoid SRS issues.

I’ve done things like breaks and all the fluid changes. But changing steering wheel scares me. Is there guides to show how to put in back on in the same angle u pulled it off ? Is a steering wheel alignment necessary

It’s simple, there is a 12 o’clock mark.

I took the bolt off and make a large mark with a wax marker to ensure I lined it back up properly.

Its honestly not that big of an issue. Just make sure the wheels are straight and the acura logo is pointing straight up before and after removal.
