The Ferrari F430 has a common issue with the steering wheel where after a while it starts to develop a small dead spot on the center, and it sometimes will even make a small click or popping sound when turning it back and fourth. The fix is super simple and requires only a 27mm wrench and a computer. You tighten the bushing that goes through the steering angle sensor, then recalibrate the steering angle sensor. It’s a simple job that can be done in about 5 minutes.

Also, how does tightening a bolt on a sensor that sits on the steering pinion shaft solve the dead spot of the steering? Unless the steering angle sensor controls the electric steering actuator that moves the steering pinion shaft which drives the steering rack! Any thoughts?
Ferraris wear too? I've been adjusting the steering lash on C2 and C3 Corvettes for 30 over years. Except on an old Corvette, the dead spot goes from really bad to not quite so bad.
Poor build quality!! Since there isn't a lot of force on the steering angle sensor, why wouldn't Ferrari put blue Loctite on the bolt??!!! It would never loosen or back out.
What sub-model of X431 do you guys use there's like a 100 different ones? Do you know of the cheapest one that is confirmed to work with F430 and does PIS, clutch wear, etc? Thanks for the help. Keep those F430 videos coming.
Great video as it becomes pretty annoying. I did this a few year ago. Holding strong!
