Are All Steering Wheels Misaligned (Not Centered)?

[GTNator]

those would be included as they are RWD.




vettes, mustangs, audi, bmw, toyota & mercedes .... all have similar complaints on their forums.

Could you please provide references/links? I'm sure Tahoe/Suburbans are not the only vehicle that has this issue but I personally own a Toyota Sequoia, BMW, Chevy Volt and they are all spot on.

My Sienna, Highlander, and RAV4 are all centered as well. I'm guessing others aren't is so you can see the full instrument panel through the steering wheel or maybe the manf's feel more people steer with their right knee while they are holding their cell phones while driving.

I just stopped by a local Chevy/GMC dealer and took these pics. Both the Yukon XL Denali and the Suburban are 2017's, and both have steering wheels that are very noticeably off center.

Now that I've seen it I can't unsee it!

Those pics really show it. Did the dealer have anything to say?

(or wonder what the heck you were doing..? 0

Looking at all the different pictures, the one thing they all have in common is the steering wheel is dead center to the instrument panel.

I've never owned a VW/Audi. I would say the Mercedes is just as bad as GM, both are about 1-2 inches off. But I guess it's never really bothered many GM truck owners, so maybe it's just the OCD getting the better of me.

You are correct, the steering wheel is dead centered to the instrument panel, but not to the seat and thus by extension, to the driver. It's almost as if GM decided to widen the interior cabin of these vehicles but left all the mechanical guts (engine, transmission, drive train, in the sam position.

Ha, yes he couldn't believe it either and said he had never noticed it before. The manager came out to look at it too. He was surprised and said that he was going to call the GM representative for this area and ask him.

Later he laughed and said something similar to what I said earlier, that he's a little pissed that he's now seen it and hopes he can forget about it next time he's driving one.

Adding a pic of mine. I know they are all the same but I took mine from the exact (well, eyeballed) center of the headrest with the seat all the way down. Doesnt look nearly as skewed...
