Any difference in 95 v. 98 steering wheels?

I've got a 95 and no one has the steering wheel in stock. But Courtesy does have the steering wheel from the 98. Is there any difference that would prevent me from using the newer steering wheel in my 95 GXE?

I'm not positive, but I believe they are not compatible as the clockspring is different.

Hopefully someone else who knows for sure will give their input.

If you want to swap to a newer wheel you'll need the matching air bag and clock spring. Perhaps even some wiring too.

95-96 had basically the same wheel and air bag. SE and GLE were leather wrapped.

97-99 had a different wheel for each model. Again SE and GLE were leather wrapped but different styles. I think the air bag and steering column trim were the same on GXE/GLE. SE models got a different looking wheel, column trim, and matching airbag.

FWIW I have a 97-99 GLE wheel with my original 98 SE air bag. I swapped over the SE rear plastic cover. Its not a perfect fit but its hard to find a good condition SE wheel.
