Not sure, but I tend to doubt it. Two things would have to be there, the splines on the steering shaft, and the airbag plug would have to be the same. an easy way to find out about the splines would be to look for the part number for a MOMO hub for the STI, and see if it's the same as the one for a J-body which is MOMO part number 2401. Even if both of those things match, they're are still no guarantees. I have a 2002 Z24 with a 2001 Sunfire steering wheel, and everything works fine. Hope this helps.

^^^i agree. if you can get some kind of adaptor to fit your splines and the bolt pattern of the wheel it "could" possibly work. then the tough part is getting the wiring correct. i doubt its the same connection. so u could try re-wiring the plug to fit, but then u run the chance of ruining the airbag completely or setting it off.

it would be sweet to get it to work, but may be more trouble than its worth

just my $0.02

with some work its possible, talk to some shops around town see if they can get it working for you.


I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'

Usually an airbag only has 2 wires going to it.
