About Steering Wheels
A steering wheel is what you steer a side-by-side with, and it attaches to the steering column through a hub. Owners shop here to replace a wheel that is worn or damaged, or to change to a different style. This is a very small category: the samples are a steering wheel and a spline-type steering hub listed for the Kawasaki Mule PRO-FXT and PRO-FX models.
The deciding factor is fit. A wheel has to mount to your column, and the connection is made by splines on the hub and shaft, so the spline type must match. The hub listed here is a type E spline, written for Kawasaki Mule PRO models from 2024 to 2025. A wheel in a different style often needs a hub adapter made for your machine's column, so confirm that the listing names your model. Steering is safety-critical. Tighten the retaining nut as your service manual says, and check that the wheel sits straight when the wheels point ahead and has no play on the shaft.
Koso North America is the brand listed here. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page. Machines steered with bars are covered in Handlebars, and levers and switches are in Buttons & Switches. The group is in Steering Wheels, Handlebars & Grips.
FAQs on UTV steering wheels and hubs
How do I know a steering wheel will fit my side-by-side?
Check that the listing names your make, model and years, and that its hub matches the splines on your steering shaft. A wheel is only as good as its connection to the column. Use the Ride Finder to narrow the list to parts made for your machine.
What does the spline type on a steering hub mean?
Splines are the grooves that lock the hub to the steering shaft so the wheel turns the shaft. The spline type, such as type E in the sample, must match the shaft. A hub with the wrong splines will not seat or hold, so confirm the type for your model.
Can I fit a different style of steering wheel on my UTV?
Often, but it usually needs a hub or adapter made for your machine, since the column and spline differ between models. Check that the wheel and hub are both listed for your model, and follow the instructions for fitting them.
How tight should the steering wheel nut be?
Use the torque value in your service manual for your model, since the wheel must not loosen. If the manual calls for a locking nut or other retaining part, use it. After fitting, check that the wheel has no play on the shaft.
What should I check if my steering wheel feels loose?
Do not ride until you have found the cause. Check the retaining nut, and look at the hub and shaft splines for wear. A wheel that moves on its shaft needs the hub or nut fixed or replaced, and the steering linkage checked as well.
