Ok, after i installed my hayame's, there is a slant in my steering wheel...like this /

well, not that steel but at least a good 30 degrees. That's the straight position. If i turn the wheel perfectly horizontal, i can make a 30 deg. turn.

now i'm wondering what the problem is...is it alignment? from the looks of it my wheels and tires are perfectly square with the ground. Can i just pluck my steering wheel off, and reattach it in the horizontal position?

plz help!

drive on them for a while, let everything settle, and find your favorite ride hieght. then go get that **** aligned. the alignment shop will be able to give you a centered wheel .

So you are saying your wheel is not centered? (slant to me implies that it's tilted forward or backward)

As said above thats an alignment issue. Mine's off a bit now from all the track driving and road abuse it's gotten. But no biggie to me until it gets out of wack bad.

^ sorry...didn't want to confuse neone...since our steering wheel already tilts, and most of us have the option to tilt it however we want, i thought i wouldn't be a confusing term to use... i'll use "off centered" next time...if there is a next time ^_^ 'least i'll know what the problem is @_@

civicvtec1ps - your car pic in your sig messes with my head everytime. it looks like your back right wheel is lifted a few inches because of that water there! I am half tempted to edit it.

chocobo - aside from inconvenience of having your car pull to the side or the steering wheel being off centered, getting your car aligned after any suspension work is a must (wait a week so it settles).

Have you ever had your alignment off and hit a pothole or rut in the road and it yanks your car to the side like nobodies business? No fun.

Did you install a new tie-rod end or mess with the tie-rod settings? If the lenght was altered in anyway when you did your install you'll throw off sterring wheel centering.
