i bought an atomiswave maximum speed with a broken force feedback belt. i replaced it and as soon as i power it up, it freaks out on me...wheel is spinning left and right for no reason...i do a search on here and someone said something about a pot 5k pot on the steering wheel...i test it in the test screen and it's fine...i test it with my multimeter and it's fine...

you guys suck!!! that's not the problem

so i troubleshoot all the wiring and everything's ok...maybe a bad force feedback board...i don't have an extra so, what the heck, let's try a new 5k pot on steering wheel...

you guys DON'T suck!!! it fixed the problem

thanks again and i'll never doubt the great hints i get on here again
 
Yeah, I used to think the same thing too. If you get a driving game where the wheel wobbles back and forth in attract mode, it's almost always the pot.
