Anybody Else have a Steering Wheel Off Center?
Hey guys, it took me a few weeks to be sure of this but, I've come to notice that my steering wheel seems to be a little off center.
Every time I'm driving down straights it feels like my steering wheel is pointed slightly off center and to the right. Also, the steering wheel seems to give easier when turning right than turning left. I haven't had any mods done to the car yet so everything's stock and it's only been 2 months since I got her. Has anybody else had this issue with their new brz/frs? Is there a quick DIY fix for this? Or is it safer to go to a dealership to have them check it out?(does anybody know any good ones to service their car at given I'm an out of state buyer?) Thanks for any help/feedback you guys can give. |

Check for even tire inflation all around. Otherwise it needs to go up on a hoist/rack.

Keep in mind that many roads are higher in the center and lower on the sides, and (combined with the grooves in the road surface for traction) can make your car feel like it is out of alignment.
Virtually every road in Southern California is designed this way, including freeways. It's for drainage and runoff purposes. https://www.google.com/search?q=road...hrome&ie=UTF-8 -alex |
