My Vanagon doesn't have a steering wheel lock like every other car I've
driven. Is there something wrong with it or do they just not have one?
Also, are all steering wheels universal, could I swap the one I have now with
another without difficulty?
Your steering lock must be broken. No, not all steering wheels are universal.
As a matter of fact the opposite is true. Few (factory) steering wheels are
universal. Aftermarket wheels made by the likes of Momo, Nardi, Grant, etc.,
just to name a few can be called "universal" I suppose since hub adapters are
available to put them on various different vehicles. You can mount some VW
wheels to the Vanagons. Go here to see how one is installed from a GTI:
