Well, maybe not falling apart, but deteriorating.

I have the TM Sprint, and the wheel itself is coming loose on the
metal part that determines hom much the wheel is turned. Don't know
the name of this part but suffice to say, the wheel is getting loose
on the metal part that turns. (there) Any way of tightening up
the connection between the wheel and the metal turning rod
thingamajiggy?

Thanx for any info. Except this, the SPRINT is a wery good wheel
and lets you use separate axis when installed as the NASCAR Pro.

Cheers!

It sounds as if you have a***loose.  No, I am not talking about your
mental faculties.  There is a large philips head***on the bottom of
the wheel's collar that goes over the metal turning rod thingamagigbob.
You may want to get some Loctite to keep it from working loose again.
But tighten it up and you should be back in good shape.

I've no answers, but my TM Sprint is doing this too.

It's not a problem. I only notice when I'm moving the wheel
to clear desk space. Other than this, I like the wheel a lot.

Does it become a problem over time?
