Hyundai Atos Steering Wheel

Not automatically. The Atos sold in South Africa as MX, including the Atos Prime, and the Prime restyle changed the exterior substantially while leaving the Epsilon driveline largely alone — body parts and mechanical parts therefore need to be sourced on different criteria. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Atos specifically, the Prime restyle changed the exterior substantially while leaving the Epsilon driveline largely alone — body parts and mechanical parts therefore need to be sourced on different criteria.

Only if the specification matches. A wheel from a Motion or GL car has blanks where an Elite or Executive car has cruise and audio controls, and an N Line wheel is different again. The airbag module and clockspring behind it have to match as well, which is the part people forget until the light stays on.

Wheel balance first, then tyre condition — those two account for most of it. If the shake survives a balance, look at stabiliser links, anti-roll bar bushes and the inner CV joint. An inner CV joint is a common culprit once balancing has been ruled out, and it is easy to miss because it mimics a wheel-balance problem almost exactly.

Warped front discs, almost every time. Stop-start traffic and repeated heat cycling do it to i20, Accent and Tucson front rotors in particular. We measure disc thickness and runout before quoting, because a skim on the lathe sometimes solves what looks like a new-discs job.

Technically yes, but the airbag stays live until the battery has been disconnected for at least 10 minutes, and the module needs handling properly. We push people towards a workshop for airbag work — accidental deployment is genuinely dangerous and replacement modules are not cheap.

Far less than a new OEM unit with airbag. Send your model, year and trim specification through the quote form — leather against urethane, cruise controls against plain, and whether the rim is heated all change both price and how easy it is to find.
