UV rays and the natural oils on your skin cause it to break down over time. The "movement" you're describing is caused by the rubber compound expanding and rotating around the metal core of the steering wheel. The year of your vehicle makes it pretty simple to swap in an aftermarket steering wheel. It's more difficult on newer vehicles with "features" built into the wheel. You can find a compatible wheel on literally hundreds of sites on the internet, Ebay is also a great choice. You can obtain a fairly decent looking wheel for around $70 - $100 shipped. Removal and installation is another story of course. If you're not mechanically inclided I recommend you find a friend or local shop to do the swap for you. It's a simple process of removing a primary bolt and then using a puller to get the wheel of it's hub. In some cases the puller is not necessary, the wheel will come off with little hesitation. Hope this helps! Good Luck! The factory steeling wheel degrades because of it’s chemical compound. UV rays and the natural oils on your skin cause it to break down over time.

You can get a quick release style one, like in fast and furious for about 140.00 with all hardware and adapter. Still have the horn too. Go with a after market wheel.

Try a salvage yard for a used one and give it a test grip to be sure that is feels right before you buy it.
