    Steering wheel spline

    Does anyone know the part number for the steering wheel spline? Or the manufacturer of the spline? I need to add a steering wheel extender but no one makes one for the Grenadier. I’m assuming ineos uses a third party spline and I’m hoping I can use an extender for another company.

    The steering pump whine is officially a issue…

    Out for breakfast with my daughter today were walking across the parking lot, and I’m like Grenadier. But I didn’t see it yet. I heard it behind me because of the steering whine pump. my daughter said she heard it before she saw it too. White IG at University and Orchard. The cinnamon swirl...

    Can the Saddle Steering Wheel be bought or is there a aftermarket buy that will match the Factory Saddle Wheel for the Grenadier ?

    steering as reported is silly

    So many many threads discussing the steering issues with these trucks and like many others I decided to study what others have discovered and what the market place has to offer. First though was to to do my own analysis . People what ever you do remove the bilstein steering dampner( unless you...

    An example of good steering…

    We have all heard people’s thoughts about Grenadier steering. Every review mentions it and there is plenty of discussion about it in the forums. Thus, steering was high on my list of concerns about the Grenadier as I began getting interested in owning one. How best to decide what is going on...

    Aftermarket saddle leather for steering wheel

    I originally wanted the saddle leather and would have spec'd it to a build... but, I ended up with one that was on a dealer's lot with every other option I wanted. The 1924 Edition then was announced and offers black saddle leather, which I think I'd prefer the aesthetics of. Can anyone think...

    Black screen behind steering wheel

    Hi, we (4 Grenadiers) are since one week in Albania for overlanding. My screen behind the steering wheel is since two days now black, no indicator, no light. took out the fuses for the cockpit, set in again. Anyone with an idea? 2000km in the next days back until Matzker can help me. P.S...

    Steering wheel free-play on center

    I’ve noticed the steering wheel on center free-play seems to be increasing a bit as things break in. Curious if others have noticed the same as the dead spot before you feel any resistance in the steering while turning it slightly left or right off center seems to be growing (about a half inch...

    Popping Sound When Turning Steering Wheel

    Hey All - Just over 2K miles and been daily driving it with a very relaxed drive most days. Today was no different but then I went out later in the evening and the car suddenly started making a popping noise around the lower part of the steering column whenever I turn the wheel left or right...

    Steering Noises

    We ordered our Grenadier some months ago and went to check it our yesterday with a plan to pick up tomorrow. There was a high pitched whine every time one of us even touched the steering wheel. Our salesperson got an audio of it to share with the service department. We haven't heard back yet...

    Centered steering wheel when going straight?

    My steering wheel is off center when driving in a straight line. Is this an easy fix? I took these twp picture of it, it's about where these pics show the wheel to be when going straight. It's not super awful but I find it annoying.

    Steering improvement with more positive caster?

    If this video has already been linked somewhere in the forum, please let me know. If not: The guy says he improved his steering so he has a much better driving experience and has to make much less corrections when driving (on the road). I'm not an expert in this field, so I would like some...

    Bosch Steering Box

    I know there is a lot on this but has anyone found where the screw is to tighten the play on the Bosch steering box. It's not the hex nut on the right as when you loosen that fluid comes out and it will only tighten so far.

    Steering wheel center?

    HI - Just a quick question for the experts. My steering wheel is off center with the middle line at about 11:00. All else seems fine. Any ideas or is this normal? I really didn't notice it before and I installed a Fox steering dampener but can't see that it would do the? Thanks!

    Fox Steering stabilizer installed

    Just installed the Fox Steering Stabilizer from Agile Offroad. Easily worth the under $300 and 20minutes of your time you’ll spend this week. Not perfect but leaps and bounds better than the stock stabilizer. 1) “firmer” more fluid, but firm, feel in steering. 2) slightly less slop in...

    Perfect tire pressure may help with steering.

    Are you trying to decide what the best PSI is for the tires on your grenadier? Whether you’ve outfitted it with rooftop tent and the kitchen sink, or you’re just picking up coffee at Starbucks. Take your vehicle to a certified CAT scale and they will give you the axle weight for front and...

    Steering stabilizer bar

    Has anyone seen the YouTube video from Agile Off-road on their custom Fox steering stabilizer bar for the Grenadier? Have you tried it out? If so, what do you think? Also related - if you had it installed, do you know if it voids the warranty?

    Americas Steering Recall - Anyone have pics of the correct nuts?

    My vehicle is in the VIN range of those 60 or so vehicles falling within the recall. I bought my vehicle from the dealer AFTER the recall was issued, so you would think it was performed, but I cannot tell. Can anyone post a pic of their non-affected steering rod ball joint nuts for comparison...

    Steering Adjustments?

    No issues from my standpoint related to the steering turning, however the steering, especially on the highway, is incredibly lax with suboptimal control. I get very concerned with narrow lanes and large trucks where the vehicle is rather touchy in terms of staying on target. My tire inflation is...

    Power Steering Error yes I searched

    Have been getting the "power steering error" message randomly for a few days. All the other threads end up in recall, or TSB nonsense that doesnt explain the error. Does anyone know what causes this? Nothing shows up on an OBD scanner.

    Steering dead zone

    the "return to center" is not my issue... the drift is not my issue. During my test drive months ago, the steering felt heavy and required attention... but it was solid - with no play. but driving my new car for a couple of days, I feel a few degrees of play clockwise and counterclockwise...

    Can someone please supply the OAD of the steering wheel and the diameter of the outer ring itself (Nappa)? I don't seem to remember it being mentioned in any threads I've read. Many thanks.

    Americas Interesting Steering / Adjustment Post from Owl Vans Engineering

    Interesting post on YouTube from Owl Vans Engineering about the driveability of the Grenadier at 'speed.' Somewhat of a simple and disturbing revelation about the alignment/caster of the Grenadier. Whether it was 'by design' or 'by accident' as referenced in the video, zero caster is no good...

    Hi all, we all know the discussions about the steering feel and turning circle. But this is not what this post is about. I have an information to share and would like to hear your comments.

    Power Steering Recall

    After seeing that over 60 Ineos Grenadier vehicles have been recalled in the US I wanted to try to find out how many of us this has affected. Our Grenadier had an almost catastrophic failure at the beginning of September. We flagged this as a potential safety hazard and were categorically told...

    Steering and Poor Stability

    I'm in the UK. My vehicle is four months old. I was expecting to have to get used to the steering system from all the reviews. The stability at anything over 60mph feels unstable, but I thought it was just a characteristic and got used to driving slower, especially on motorways. I've got a...

    Clicking noise - steering

    I couldn't find this problem previously reported. When turning, initially right only now both ways, I hear a clicking noise that can be felt as well. First reported to my dealer, they greased some bearings (forgot the exact name) and that appeared to correct the issue. A few days later and it's...

    New improved steering! - diffrent Box + less play Late 2023/2024 cars

    So having a conversation today, I have heard there is a new version of the steering, I guess its a new box, possibly with variable ratios in the box. I believe its already in production, so late 2023/2024 cars will have it. I really want to test it side by side but the person I was speaking to...

    Steering Retrofit

    From discussions here and reviews - the steering and lack of return to center seems to be one of the little quirky 'signature' things right or wrong (does not make a difference since it is what it is). Has anyone explored retrofits or upgrades to help in that area?

    Steering bump stop adjustment for improved turning circle?

    Four turns lock to lock?

    Since the vehicle has power steering, and I assume it was designed to be robust, why could they have just changed the gearing to, say, three turns lock to lock and depended on the power steering's assistance to keep the steering effort reasonable? I am not a steering gear designer (and don't...
