Thrustmaster Nascar Pro fix...

My beloved Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel was feeling loose, and doing the
steering jitters thing, so I took some of the advice that I saw posted on
this NG and went to Radio Shack and invested a small fortune in some Tuner
Cleaner.  Glad I did...it works great.

I was about to replace the loose bungee when I noticed something.  And that
was that on each end of the bungee, it wraps around a little round ***
component.  And then it's tied off with those little plastic straps.  I
noticed that the little *** components that the bungee are wrapped around
is sitting snugly down in their own little plastic *channel" on each side of
the wheel.

I took a pair of pliers and grabbed onto the little *** thingy (looks
like a small hockey puck), and I pulled it out of it's channel, and turned
it a quarter-turn.  That kept it from going back down into the channel.  It
kind of sits *across* the channel now.

Now that it sits across the channel instead of snugly down into it, the
bungee got tightened up.  I only had to do one side to get mine tight
enough, but I can see that if a person was to do that procedure on each
side, it would be a lot tighter.

It was easier than replacing the bungee.

Good tip.  I have to try that.
