Ahem... ALL of our steering wheels are off center by two or three feet. Probably closer to two. Unless you are in a McLaren in which it is dead center as that's where the drivers seat is as well.

All done outside dealer. Did I make a boo boo?

That shouldnt have any bearing on your steering wheel being off center... Where I live I have had no problems what so ever getting warranty work with the basic NA bolt ons on my old G35 Coupe, and an s2000.

I know a buddy who some how shattered his flywheel and blew his tranny seal or something, it left a crack in the casing. On a 09 Touring Sport 7AT.

He had full bolt ons including a pulley, lambo doors, tune and they covered his tranny at 8k miles along with the flywheel with no resistance..

Id be going to the dealer before I did anything.

The point was... many things can be done without running back to the dealer. I mean just because it's under warranty doesn't mean they have to wash your car for you too.

There's nothing wrong with a little do-it-yourself. Unless you missplaced your man card.

It's the 1st time I notice something like that in any car I've owned, and it's just in my better half's Pathfinder; my Z doesn't suffer from it, thank God. Strange.

Haha that's bit my car for the record. But he loves it and everyone else that sees it seems to love it too. I'm not a fan not would
i take them if they were free.

As far as not having a man card to center my steering wheel , that's something I'll let them deal with . I'll
change my breaks and oil they can center my wheel!

And the craziest thing is I checked my wheel and it's off by about 1 mm ! Now it's driving me crazy..

Never noticed it, 12,500 miles. It's so slightly off but still. Kinda bogus !

Our new Z had the same issue, It was just off by like a mm or 2.. but still was really annoying. I took it into the dealer and they fixed the issue in about 30 mins. They hooked it up the the alignment machine and adjusted it. No more off center steering wheel

sonic370 · 07-02-2010, 05:43 PM

It can be fixed just bug the crap out of them.
Just had mine done at the dealership at so far its dead on.
