Steering wheel off center from factory

[Denali4181]

Just bought a new 19 Tahoe RST yesterday.

Going straight down the road my steering wheel is a few degrees to the right. Bought a new 15 Grand Cherokee and had same issue. Took 5 trips to get the alignment done right on that one. Not sure how I've got this lucky on 2 new vehicles. Will be headed to dealer first thing Monday morning. Hope it's a fast easy fix...

most vehicles are like that.

there is an accepted tolerance that all manufacturers would have.


its fixed by adjusting the tie rod.

Is the steering wheel a few degrees to the left if you were to switch lanes and drive straight?

Roads are pitched with center line being the highest point. On a ‘flat’ straight road you should have to hold the wheel a touch towards the center to stay straight.

Is that what you are experiencing?

Dealer fixed me up this morning with no issue. Had to make a minor adjustment by doing an alignment. Tech said it wasent me being super OCD and he could easily see it was off a tad.

Mine was off too, not just the wheel but also the alignment, all good now.

I know we have just a small sample here but I'm betting a lot of them are being sent out off. Hopefully the data is getting back to the factory so they can get this fixed before it makes it to the dealers.
