Steering Wheel Off-Centered
 

I may be thinking about it too much, but it bugs me. My steering wheel is slightly left when driving straight. Anyone else notice this or know if I can straighten the wheel? (The car does not pull and tire pressures are even)
Thanks in advance

Take it to the dealer to see if they can get it re-aligned for you.

You just now noticed this or you hit a curb or pothole since purchase? It should be straight as a laser beam, which is in stark contrast to the common line of horseshit you are fed after attempting to get an alignment...surely you've heard it before:

"all cars are designed from the factory to pull slightly to the right in case you fall asleep"

To which I reply: "funny, every new car I've ever purchased was not set up correctly then, because they drove perfectly straight from day 1"...<deer in headlights look appears on face of moron technician>.

Lol, i thought i was the only one. Mine is a little to the left as well. Just gonna have it fixed when i go in for my first oil change.

its an alignment issue. get one and itll be fixed. like second poster said if you hit a curb or pothole it could have caused it

Most road surfaces are cambered (slanted) slightly to the right on each side of the center “crown” of the road. This is necessary for water drainage in rain; we would not want our roads to be “cupped” and pooling all the water in the road center, creating a lake.

Now, if the steering is set up to be perfectly centered traveling along a truly flat piece of pavement, then when traveling along a road with a slight rightward slant, the driver needs to compensate slightly with a tiny bit of left-turn steering to keep from drifting off the right side of the road.

Other factors may play a role as well, such as driver weight, a heavy passenger, crosswinds, etc.

The car can be set up to have the steering wheel dead centered when on the average crowned road. It’s up to you how you want yours set up.

If the steering wheel is not dead-center level, spokes parallel to the horizon on any given road, it does not necessarily indicate a problem. However, if you notice a sudden change from what it had been, then that probably calls for a visit to an alignment shop.

Hope this has been useful and helpful. :)

This is also what I'm going to say. Find a very flat road and test it.
P.S. ford or someone has a new electronic power steering that can compensate road crown or lateral wind blow.

All vechicles are built 4-5mm shorter on one side, depending on which country you live in, to automatically accommodate for camber, every car for the last 10+ years has been built this way.

Any dealer telling you it automatically accommodates for camber via steering calibration is either trying really hard to spin stuff to sell it, or has no idea what hes on about.

Interesting. Can you verify this?

get an alignment, it is free and covered by warranty if done within the first 10,000 miles. I had to get one a few thousand ago and all is well now.

It's super easy to adjust yourself - takes 5 minutes. Read up on adjusting the front tie rods. You don't even have to jack the car up

By trade I am a vehicle body repairer. You can see yourself by doing a simple rope test wheel alightment, one side will be shorter by a a small number measuring center to center after aligning your wheels.

Yet the car still drives perfectly straight, yes? Because mine sure as hell does and all before it. That was the very first thing I smiled about when I got 100 feet out of the dealership parking lot...no more pulling right like my old car with multiple problems in the tie-rod and boot areas.

can get an alignment under warranty for sure
