Default ea steering wheel swap

question, am i able to change the bus wheel in my ea to a smaller stock falcon one, like an ef or el one... or even an au one...
do they fit straight on? its just an s pack, so no cruise or anything...

No EF, EL, AU or BA wheel will fit. You can try an EB/ED one or an aftermarket one.

Or change the upper half of your steering column to an ef one.
EB/ED one will bolt on, but I personally don't like them much. I have an ED Ghia leather wheel (with cruise) and I like that a lot, but it is the same size as an EA one.

You'll find the EB/ED fairmont steering wheels (with cruise buttons) are the smallest (including EF/EL). Think those wheels came on EA ghias too. but yer, not the most best looking wheel.
