Okay so I have a 2009 suzuki SX-4 and it's steering wheel (while driving straight) is slightly crooked... Kinda as if I was merging to the right... So I wonder if there is anyone who knows how this would be fixed? I would go back to the dealer but I am sure they would just tell me there is no problem as the car does drive straight and it's not that far off centre! It just bothers me and was wondering if anyone knows if there is an easy fix to this?

I appriciate any help or incite anyone may be able to provide!!

=(

I had the wheels aligned last week and if I just let the steering wheel go it will drive straight it doesn't pull to either side! =( it's really starting to bother me for some reason! BAH! I'll have to bring it in I guess? I'm not sure what they will do because it's not like it's a big deal it just looks weird!

Again if anyone knows how this could be fixed other than having it aligned, please let me know?

Thanks,

Mack

OH, Thank you for telling me this! It somehow makes me feel better that someone else has the same problem and it's not just me! I might just leave it! haha

Like I said it still drives straight when I am not holding on to the wheel and it doesn't pull to either side.. All that matters is that it's one striking car! =)

Thanks for everyone's feedback! =)

My 2009 wheel is off center too. It also seems to have some positive toe up front. I have been meaning to take it to my favorite alignment shop. But just have not had time.

I won't even bother with the dealer. Too many bad alignment experiences with past ones. With in spec is good enough at most any dealers. Problem is the spec tolerances are too wide. If they cannot get your car set even and at the number in that range you want, then find a new shop.
