Inside OKJAWS: How Our Steering Knobs Are Assembled for Unmatched Performance

Introduction: Where Craftsmanship Meets Function

At OKJAWS, excellence is not just a goal—it’s built into every product we create. With nearly five decades of experience in automotive accessory manufacturing, we’ve earned a reputation for precision engineering and uncompromising quality, especially in our signature product: the steering wheel knob.

While design and materials are critical, it’s the assembly process that truly brings each product to life. Every component—from the metal base to the ergonomic grip—is carefully aligned, fitted, and secured to ensure long-lasting durability and optimal performance. Attention to detail at each assembly stage ensures that the final product can withstand the demands of daily driving while delivering smooth operation and reliable control.

At Okjaws, we believe that even the smallest screw plays a crucial role. That’s why every part is assembled with care and expertise—because when it comes to safety and user experience, nothing is left to chance.

 

Component Overview: Precision-Engineered Parts

The strength and performance of every Okjaws steering knob start with the quality of its components. Each part is engineered with exact specifications to ensure a seamless fit and flawless function during assembly and long-term use.

Each component plays a specific role, and together they create a product that lives up to the Okjaws name: precise, durable, and built for real-world driving.

 

Step 1: Bearing Placement for Smooth Rotation

The assembly process begins with a critical component: the bearing. At Okjaws, we insert the bearing precisely between the lower grip base and the zinc alloy metal base—a step that sets the foundation for the knob’s smooth, effortless rotation.

The purpose of the bearing is simple yet essential: it reduces friction between moving parts, allowing the steering knob to turn freely and fluidly with minimal resistance. This not only enhances driving comfort but also extends the life of the product by preventing wear from constant motion.

Unlike lower-end alternatives that may use substandard materials, Okjaws insists on using high-quality, wear-resistant bearings engineered for long-term performance. Each bearing is tested for smoothness, load capacity, and durability, ensuring that your steering knob continues to operate as smoothly on day 1,000 as it did on day one.

This first step in the assembly process reflects our commitment to functional design and precision engineering—every detail matters, right from the core.

 

Step 2: Securing the Metal Base and Lower Grip

Once the bearing is in place, the next step is to align the zinc alloy metal base with the lower grip base—a process that demands precision to ensure all internal parts remain properly seated.

After careful alignment, the two components are securely fastened together using a pneumatic tool. This step not only locks the bearing into position but also forms the structural core of the entire steering knob. The tight fit and rigid connection ensure that there’s no wobbling or shifting during operation, even under constant rotational pressure.

At Okjaws, this stage is about more than just assembly—it’s about building a strong, stable foundation that drivers can rely on. Our attention to alignment and fastening strength guarantees that each knob can endure years of use while maintaining its integrity and performance.

 

Step 3: Final Grip Assembly

With the metal base and lower grip securely connected, the final step is to complete the ergonomic grip. This involves carefully aligning and positioning the upper grip base over the lower grip, ensuring a seamless fit that follows the product’s intended form.

Once properly aligned, the two grip halves are fastened together using electric screwdriver, locking the outer shell into place. These screws are strategically positioned to reinforce the structure without compromising the comfort or aesthetics of the grip.

At this point, the ergonomic design is fully assembled and securely enclosed, ready to deliver a comfortable and controlled driving experience. The smooth contours, solid feel, and stable rotation reflect the attention to detail Okjaws is known for.

This final assembly step marks the transformation from precision parts to a fully functional steering knob—engineered to perform, built to last.

 

Final Checks: Quality Control Before Delivery

Before any steering knob leaves the Okjaws facility, it must pass a rigorous series of quality control inspections designed to ensure flawless performance and safety.

Each unit is first examined for smooth rotation, ensuring the bearing functions properly with no grinding, stiffness, or irregular movement. Screw tightness is verified by hand to confirm that all components are firmly secured. The overall structural integrity is checked to ensure the knob can withstand daily use without loosening or shifting.

But we don’t stop at bench testing. To simulate real-world conditions, Okjaws performs real-vehicle testing, installing sample units on actual steering wheels to observe their behavior under turning force, road vibration, and heat exposure. This step confirms that the knob remains stable and performs as intended—with no wobbling, slipping, or mechanical failure.

Only after a unit passes all these checks is it cleared for final packaging. This process guarantees that every Okjaws steering knob delivered to a customer meets the highest standards of safety, reliability, and craftsmanship.

 

Conclusion: Built Piece by Piece to Perform Every Turn

At Okjaws, every steering knob is the result of a precise and thoughtful assembly process—from raw materials to final inspection. Each stage, each component, and each connection reflects our dedication to quality, safety, and performance.
