mis-aligned steering wheel

[justanotherdrunk]

The car is 3 weeks old with only 150 miles

I'd guess it's ~2-3 degrees to the left when driving on any smooth, flat road

none of my other cars are this way

anyone know what the spec/ allowed deviation from center is?

I expect the dealer mechanic to say it's normal

drives me nuts!

That looks significantly off to me. No way the dealer can claim it as "normal".

Not to be rude but did you not notice this when you test drove the car?

Oh, man, that would tap into my OCD like no other.

Definitely not normal.

Best case scenario, you just need an alignment. Have you gone over any deep potholes lately? How about bumps or dips at an angle? Any weird noises heard in the first 150 miles?

Alignment is covered under warranty for up to 15k so drive down and have it done

no pot holes/ curbs hit - didn't notice since the car has barely been driven

the car drives perfectly straight

just the steering wheel not aligned properly

to the dealer tomorrow

Mine has the same problem...

But on friday they are going to put on some fog lights and I hope they will address the steering also.

My car used to have the same problem when it was lowered on Eibach Pro Kits. I found out that it was due to the mechanic that didn't re-clock the bushings after installing the springs!

Successfully fixed by the dealer

The Tech said the spec for steering wheel center is +/- 3 degrees

mine was -8 degrees to the left



it has now been optimized and is perfect
