Default crooked steering wheel



This is my steering wheel when going straight, not an issue on all roads, seems to be dependant on crown of road.

Worth a dealer trip to bitch or no?

maybe 3-5 degrees off center

I only have 580 miles on her now...

If you're going to get a dealer warranty fix on this, do it ASAP. This sort of thing can be denied later as they'll say you drove over or into something to cause it.

some members have reported poor alignment numbers straight (no pun intended) out of the dealership...I took mine in for alignment at 3 months and nothing was askew.

go to the dealer while you have the chance. and did you happen to hit a curb while parking or something. That happens when you need an alignment.

Nope no curbs, car had 8 miles on it when I got it so maybe someone did. No damage to tires or wheels though.

I hate to let the dealer touch the alignment...

Maybe I will go to a good shop and just pay for it to be done right.

Holy crap Jordan, you're still alive? Got another one? What happened to the Z06?

As far as the wheel off-center goes, and if it's related to crown in the road, it's definitely an alignment issue.
