In the last week, my wheel has been acting up. Turning left works fine,
however turning *right* only works at full deflection. No I don't *do*
NASCAR so don't ask. Not good. Was thinking it would be two possibilities:
1. It's toast (or at least the pot was) 2. It just needed the contacts
cleaned.

So go with #2 then until proven otherwise. Right. So get out the contact
cleaner. What *no* contact cleaner? ****. Hmm. WD40?? WTF eh? damn if it
didn't work. Just sprayed it at (the 1 cm^2 BTW - kind of strange for a
steering wheel) pot.
