Make Your Logitech Wheel Quieter - For G923 G920 G29 G27 G25

[@MalcomMcLeod]

Even though it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend money to upgrade this level of wheel, I love seeing mods to see what's possible.

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

a lot of people get these used for $100. The $36 mod greatly improves the feel. Though do the brake pedal first!

there is a special music box for that where you put agains the seeling and it plays the sound through the material

[@jonny11bonk]

[@WhiteCranK]

You can make it quiter without spending more than 2 dollars.. Just buy these felt stickers for under a chairs feet. Then stick them between the "rails" or "cograil" which are responsible for turning the wheel (sry but english isn't my native) the FFB motors are moving these, so it's easy to find. I hope you get what i mean. Also put a bit of extra lubricant in if you have the wheel open anyways. Tadaa this will reduce the noise around 80% or even more.

[@lighnr]

Sounds interesting but I dont really get between which rails.

[@WhiteCranK]

@@lighnr Yeah i believe you haha, the problem is that i don't even know how to call these things in german. The ffb motors have tiny gears which move long, black plastic things (rails) left and right. Between these two black thingys there's some space which makes the noise, if you cancel that space with the felt, it's much quiter. Believe me, if you open the wheel and see the ffb motors and where they connecting with their gears, you'll understand what i meant 😅

[@Dinous_65]

Is it the rail on the back that limits the wheels movement or where roughly are those "rails" located and what is their shape?

[@WhiteCranK]

@@Dinous_65 Yes they're responsible for the wheel rotation. They're rectangular and maybe about 20cm (7.8inch) long and i believe they called "racks" or "cograil" You have to open the wheel base to find them.

[@andrea360z]

@@WhiteCranK That space is visible in the video? If yes, can you just point the second where it is showing? I'm trying to prepare everything before opening the wheel, so it would be useful to know what to do!

[@arranmc182]

In theory because this stiffens the internal structure this could benfit the trueforce haptics in the wheel as now there is less internal flex the trueforce vibrations might be felt more

Je ne pense pas que cette pièce soit réellement prévu pour réduire les sons de claquement mais plutôt pour remplacer en cas de casse , par une pièces plus rigide et de meilleurs qualité , qui rend le volant plus agréable a utiliser

[@101wilku101]

G25 is quiet, it has better - two gears and spring mechanism - compensation of noise making from loose gears. If you want quiet, make gaps between gears teeth smaller by mounting them closer to each other .

[@bartekc]

G29 have helical gears which make no noise at all. All the noise is from electric motors shaft hitting plastics stoppers. This is caused by helical gears, they pull or push shafts. Noise in this construction can only be eliminated if Logitech used herringbone gears. I guess that plastic gears could not handle torque..

[@calinguitar]

Just ordered on Ali express, it's my last resort to revitalize the wheel, my chassis cracked. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for the video :D .

[@EvanR56]

The common cracking around the bearing housing can also be fixed with a dremel, a large jubilee clip (hose clamp) and some patience! You just have to keyhole the support ribs around the bearing housing, feed the jubilee clip through and tighten down. Completely removed all of the play in my wheel!

Thanks for the upload ill be picking one up for my 923 as its insane how loud this wheel is. Every game i reduce the road feel to almost nothing to help with it, even curbs on most tracks get the thing sounding like a jackhammer.

[@pokemonboi8395]

hey have you done it and has it helped? and how difficult was it?

[@BURDsTheW0RD]

@pokemonboi8395 i haven't yet but I have torn the wheel apart like in the video it's not difficult just take your time with it

[@vixhocampusano3759]

The inside of the wheelbase needs to be greased after a while. When you use your wheel daily the pieces inside generate friction. That burns the grease inside of it, and believe me, from the factory it comes with way less grease than it actually needs. I have a g27 its very old nowadays and i greased it because i Bought it used and it works perfectly.

[@vixhocampusano3759]

The grease can solve the wobbly sound and raspiness feel of the wheel

[@palmolive2517]

What parts did you grease?

the rack limiter is what makes all the noise, I need to find a replacement for mine but finding new ones are impossible. Also Ifixit show a teardown and how to recalibrate the alignment :)

[@darnellw.4691]

keep me updated (my g923 is on its way)

[@AtanasStojanovski21]

in my opinion if you bought your wheel before yes otherwise if you get the wheel plus all the upgrades to make it better its not since you can get a direct drive for that price and a good one

[@littlejp6090]

might i add if you are unsure how to do it take photos during each step to refer back to to help assemble back together.

[@jed2055]

Taking your comment on the overall effect on old wheels vs new, Danny one could say your wheel will now hold its "feel" characteristics as you sense it, longer, perhaps even longer than the design life of the wheel. So, as an upgrade I still believe it is a good one to have on a new wheel. My used wheel is in right now on its way to me. When I first use it I will be looking for wear issues and will keep this mod in mind. For Aussies interested in this mod this plate is AU$74 including shipping as at June, 2024.

[@Osaka2407]

What makes the most amount of noise in these wheels is the hard stop mechanism. While Logitech has better main gearbox than Thrustmaster with their 'hybrid' approach (which is basically a glorified but really coarse gear mechanism with added belt to smooth some of the high frequency FFB effects out), Thrustmaster got one thing right. They have made a steering wheel shaft into a screw and made what essentially is a plastic nut going back and forth on it, bumping into hard stops and thus limiting travel. Much smoother, much quieter. Hell, for what what I care, I may end up buying G2x/G92x wheel and modding the crap out of it for the giggles. So while this mod helps for sure as metal cover will dampen the noise as it's much heavier than original and much more stiff, you may want to design and 3D print a better pinion gear, perhaps with some rubber rollers on it, to eliminate plastic on plastic contact.

[@murderdoggg]

Awesome upgrade for $35. Could you please also try insulating the original plastic part with spray foam or sound deadening mat from car audio? I would be very interested in the results. I just bought a new G293 set and the DF Shifter for $215 and $20, respectively. While

I was considering this the other day, not cause I need it at all more because I could so thank you for your review been looking for a second opinion on these before buying and you hit that mark for me, might be worth upgrading down the line less cause of sound more to remove potential failure points in the wheel.

[@RoadToSalvationX]

Background music is really cool. Reminds me of Lips of Ashes from Porcupine Tree

[@ahmetbulut1175]

I made similar things to my bro's g27 and result was same we made a 3d printed sleeves instead of plastic parts. I also tried rc car tooth wheel for my g29 for just one motor, i think this is better solution. Almost no friction but should make a special part for motor which is with encoder.

[@miketrbn]

My G923 on the PS5 doesn't do much noise either way. Maybe it depends more on having the right FFB settings on each game?

[@RuKuaj]

100% from what I have read

[@jonny11bonk]

The difference is incredible, but I would rather do something about the gear system or the brushed motors themselves.

[@OnSync]

I wonder if you could simply add noise dampening (insulators, that are also used in cars), inside the housing, if that would dampen the sound. Sad that no one has tried this. But also having an aluminium body feels more robust than the plastic thats included.

[@palmolive2517]

I want to lube the big center gear and the 2 small gears behind the electric motors cause they sound a lot when the wheel is returning,sould i use lithium grease?

[@MokanaMelodious]

Been using my G25 since release and still using it to this day. This is one upgrade that could be fun investing in and possibly even noise canceling foam could be an interesting customization when the wheel goes bad. I am strong believer in upgrading the old tech can give you just as much fun and pleasure in games, plus picking up on some knowledge of the internal, should i feel creating my own. Thank you testing this, very interesting and a good courtesy investment.

Hey man just wondering if you came across the metal spring which is like a half moon when you’d separated the internals from the base, mine fell out when I separated it and can’t figure out for the life of me where it came from

[@revtimewest]

My 920 doesnt do that at all. Maybe later on down the line it wears out?

[@bujfvjg7222]

Same here,.my g920 only makes noise if I take my hands off the wheel and allow it to oscillate.

[@WyvernDotRed]

My G29 started making such noises a few weeks in, from using almost all the FFB range but barely avoiding clipping. The sharper turns in my daily Nürburgring lap reach 3/4th the FFB range, crashes clip for obvious reasons. I could lower FFB to 100% instead of the 200% to lessen it, but as long as clipping is avoided during normal driving, more FBB more better. So I'll simply stand the noise, or take it apart and grease it if I feel the need to.

[@EmulationPiracy]

I’ve took apart a lot a lot of tech and I’m disappointed in the insides of this wheel. Same motors as an rc car lol
