This Sport Steering Wheel (OEM 78645) is designed as a stylish upgrade for UAZ vehicles, including Bukhanka Classic, Bukhanka Modern, and Hunter & 469 series. Featuring a three-spoke performance-style design, it enhances interior aesthetics, improves driver grip, and gives a sportier feel compared to standard factory wheels. While fitment depends on the steering column spline, it is widely used on later Hunter and Bukhanka models.
Why choose this sport steering wheel?
With its reinforced driver-focused design, this steering wheel offers better handling comfort and a refreshed interior look. Manufactured to OEM-equivalent standards under reference 78645, it is offered through UAZ parts specialists as a bolt-on replacement for select UAZ models. The durable construction ensures longevity, while the textured black finish complements both classic and modern interiors.

little disclaimer: for some unknown silly UAZ typical it fits perfectly on most cars, but others not. If no fit, of course return and refund possible.
Installation tips:
Before installation, check the steering column spline profile. To fit, disconnect the horn wiring, remove the old wheel and retaining nut, then mount this wheel securely using the original hardware. Reconnect the horn wiring and ensure the wheel seats properly on the spline. If alignment or fitment is off, return is accepted.
When to replace or upgrade?
Upgrade to this steering wheel if your current wheel is worn, damaged, or lacks a sportier driving feel. It is also a popular choice among restorers and enthusiasts looking for improved grip and aesthetics.
