There is a***underneath the wheel where the wheel meets the shaft. Get a philips head screwdriver and tighten it up. Sid.

If you turn the unit upsidedown, look at where the wheel meets the base, you should see a large phillips head screw. That may need a turn or so, but be careful cause that's a steel***going into plastic. Those allen head screws may also need a twist, but you'll have to take the cover off and hold the nuts behind them. Basically, any***you can see from underneath the unit base needs to come out to get the cover off, there's 18 screws.

I had the same problem before I got rid of my Nascar Pro. The***was as tight as I could make it, couldn't go any tighter, yet it still wobbled. So I said oh well, it was cheap to get. So I played on. A couple days later the wheel could actually be pulled towards me. I took out the***and only half came out! The other half was in there. It had sheared off! So I took out my handy drill and got it out without stripping in the inside thread. I put another***in there and all was good. -- Adam Zerlin GT Insider Webmaster www.gtinsider.com >If you turn the unit upsidedown, look at where the wheel meets the base, you >should see a large phillips head screw.

be careful not to make the stupid mistake i did. i took out the***that holds the wheel and yanked the wheel off the shaft, not thinking that there are wires running thru the shaft for the 2 red buttons on the wheel. i ripped apart the wires and had to dismantle the whole wheel to fix them. take it from me, live with the wobbly wheel or call thrustmaster,tell them your problem, get a rma # and let them fix it. don
Yeah, My Nascar Pro did the same thing, the***just snapped in half. Luckily my Wife is a jeweller and she had all the tools I needed for the fliddly job of getting the remaining piece of***out, and then making a new one.

I had the same prob. A friend of mine who is a pretty good mechanic, gave me a hand. We tightly screwed the***using a drop of***sealer (stops it from unscrewing by itself, but the day you try to unscrew it it wont show too much resistance) This solved the problem for me, been using the wheel intensly for over a month like that and no more wobbly wheel! ;o) Hope this helps Ross
