Hi everyone i brushed a curb avoiding a dog a couple of days ago and had an alignment done on my R53. I just noticed that the the steering wheel is slightly off centre. The angles all showed up in the green on the alignment machine. What should i do about the steering wheel?


Here are the specs off my alignment

 

If you just got it done, perhaps you can go back and ask them to straighten it for you. I've never understood why some places don't do that automatically for you.

 

Pretty simple to fix. Stop car when rolling in straight line turn off. Remove screws on back of wheel to release airbag mechanism, Unplug airbag. Unscrew nut in center of wheel, pull wheel off, center wheel, put all bac together. 20 min

 

DO NOT do this. Geeze....

Take it back to the alignment shop and ask them to straighten your wheel. Also ask them for you to sit in the car while the alignment is performed, this will insure it is good to go !! Centering the steering wheel is in 90% of the programs i have seen for alignments, they just have it off a little, and most likely b/c they didnt get in the car to eyeball it 100%.
