Out of curiousity, has anyone else experienced any hardware failures
with this wheel? (Note: This is the MOMO Racing, not MOMO Force. This
wheel does _not_ have the leather wrapped around it.)
Thanks!
A well-known, and well-reported problem. If you want to have a go at fixing
it yourself, here's a link, but it looks darn fiddly.
Seems to have been very badly designed, I've had the same problem with mine
too.

Have a look at this thread, details the problem nicely:

I had the little power socket break off inside - you know, the thing you
plug the power cord into the back of the wheel? It broke off it's mount or
something and was just rattling around inside the case.

Yes and no. If you can't take it to the retailor, they will have you
send it in for a replacement. They do NOT repair the Momo's and they do
NOT have spares. The trouble is, they quit making Momo's and probably
don't have a supply left to send the exact wheel back to you. One user
here got a newer Momo Racing(cheaper) wheel in return. He had to really
dig for get another Momo force back.

Mine is like 3 years old, and is just now starting to show a tad bit of age.
Nothing major, just an intermittent squeak in the shaft and a sticky left
shifter from time to time. It's been beat to death and has never really
failed me.
