nkt001 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 This topic may seem really lame....but does anyone know of Steering wheel compatibilities between lexus vehicles ?? I would like to get a new steering wheel in my 2000 ES, will steering wheels from any other vehicles fit ? If so, can anyone tell me what years and models ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I doubt it, plus you'd have to buy a new airbag and thats gonna cost you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked a pictures of steering wheels from LS400 and ES300 around the same year and they look almost identical; I'm just not sure if the mounting is the same. It looks like the airbag from the ES will fit, I just wanted to see if someone could confirm that it does or doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 The wheels are actually totally different, the LS wheel is a couple inches wider in diameter too. Even if it does bolt up its not going to flow into the steering column in look and its going to stick out. The airbag from the ES will DEFINATELY not fit. That I am 100% sure of. They're totally different designs. Your generation ES uses a stock Toyota wheel design shared with the Camry, the Solara, the 4 Runner of that era. The LS uses a wheel shared with the LX/Land Cruiser of that era and they now use that wheel rim on the GX, LX, 4 Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra truck.

SW03ES Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 This is a 2000 LS400: This is a 2000 ES300: As you can see the wheels are very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 LS has a huge airbag compared to an ES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Why would you want the LS steering wheel anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I am guessing for the wood at a cheap price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkt001 Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 I am guessing for the wood at a cheap price ← Bingo ! Also, I'm looking at the pics.....they don't look that different to me. It looks like the LS steering wheel is bigger and not as deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Trust us, they are completely different and they arent interchangable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 So agreed. An older GS 92-97 might fit but it was never offered in wood. You want wood ,send yours out and get an inlay for a couple of $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
