Steering wheel question
 

I picked up my 2015 Sport Tech yesterday and the steering wheel is slightly left. I'm very picky and it bothers me but I can get over it. Is this common for this car before having it aligned? Don't get me wrong, it's barely turned left (and I mean barely) but the car rides fine and doesn't pull. I'm just curious.

Check your tire pressures and see if they are out of spec. If its still crooked take it back to the dealership and have them check it out.

I checked the tire pressure today and it was good. I have to go back to dealer next week so I'll have them look at it. I don't think most people would really even notice it, I'm just a little OCD. Actually I'm alot OCD

If its not pulling then its an adjustment to set the steering wheel straight.

Good deal, thanks

you said people can not notice it but you can? so picture please. If it is a brand new 2015 it will do bother me :tiphat:

"I don't think most people would really even notice it, I'm just a little OCD. Actually I'm alot OCD". This is what I actually said. I can post pics but I'd have to be driving it down the freeway. It's very minor and the dealer said they would take care of it. Does it bother me? Yes. Is it a deal breaker? No, not at all.

Why ocd guy doing with chevys with tolerance of +/-1inch? Lol

What's your problem? This is the second reply to one of my post with a smarta** reply. I can see why your post count is so high. I can only assume you use summers eve for an air freshner in your 09.

LOL. Don't take it personally, he's like that to all newbies. He did it to me and still does.. Just put him on your ignore list.

no, this is the 3rd. i took the time to help you about your cocked steering wheel, but u did not bother to read it. that's all.
update your car profile too.

GL to u and ur new problem.

This happened to my Lexus. The alignment was fine, but the steering wheel was a bit off center when it was aligned from the factory.

Just take it back and tell them it is 'off center' as early as possible so they don't blame you for hitting a pothole or something.

Lexus is very customer oriented and they fixed it without any hassle. Hope Nissan would do the same.

Keep in mind that the slope of the road will do this. Most roads slope to the right which would cause you to correct the wheel slightly to the left. Try driving on a highway where the left lane slopes to the left and see if the steering wheel corrects to the right the same amount. The best would be a completely level road but I dont think you will find it.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

I brought my car back to the dealer and they found the front right tire out of the alignment spec so they corrected it and the wheel is straight now. They pretty much did minor adjustments to everything to bring it more inline with the specs. I asked them to take some of the negative camber out of the rear so they dropped it down to -1.6 from the -2.2 and -1.7 it was at. I thought about bringing it to zero but decided to split the range and stay on the lower end of the scale. Anyway, glad I had it checked.

thought friday 4:59pm cars only happens to euro cars.. :ugh:

I guess nissan is more euro than japanese now..

What's your toe though? That's a lot of adjustment in camber and on these cars messing with one really messes with the other. You gotta have huge adjustment in both to really get what you need.

Rear toe before:
Left: .23
Right: .06

Rear toe after:
Left: .16
Right: .10

Rear toe angle:
Before: .28
After: .26

Same here.. I'm scared of changing things for this reason.. Feel like it won't come out perfect and I will just get frustrated. :(

just expect that it wont and u wont be surprised when you get the car back.

that's about as positive as you can get with stock components (-1.6,7)

yep;i've been doing my own....when you go max positive camber-it also gives you more +toe,,,but you gotta have some +toe in the rear or the azzend of the car will be dancing all over the place;especially hard acceleration & high speeds.(dangerous to have no toe in rear)
i think it's like 0.09*-0.21* (total 0.18*-0.24*)
