    Default Steering wheel off-center?

    My steering wheel had always been very very slightly off-center to the left. Car never pulls to any side, its just off-center when travelling straight. 6 months ago, I got new tyres and the moment I drove out of the place I noticed my steering wheel was more off-center than before. I never took anymore notice of it until lately. Its now even more off-center than ever. I'm puzzled, what's going on?? What can I do to fix this??

    Exact same with me mate. It was pulling a tad to the left before i got my wheels fitted and driving out more so than before. Took it back and they gave it a free alignment

    Rule of thumb - New tyres, new wheel alignment is needed

    Tell the guys at workshop its off centre and/or pulling to a side. More info, better to help disgnose and know what to look for.

    Steering wheel off centre simply means the wheel aligner didnt do his job correctly.

    Bit late to take it back now for a free fix but it needs an alignment done to correct the steering wheel.
