Anyone have this problem?

I just got my WRX about 3 weeks ago and the steering wheel is slightly angled (about 2 - 3 degrees off being level), when driving in a straight line. At first I thought it was just me, but after a friend of mine drove my car, he mentioned to me that the steering wheel was not level. I was curious if anyone else has had this happen to them?

Thanks,
B

My MY01 RS the steering wheel is off a little toward the left like the aligment is off. But it drives fine.

You might want to check your front tire pressures as well. A large deviation can cause your wheel to be cocked while going straight. Does the car pull in either direction on a flat road?

That was one of the first things I checked, after my friend confirmed it to me. Tire pressure is even on all sides. On flat roads the car doesn't pull, it drives straight. Just that the steering wheel is turned a few degrees to the right. When I level the streering wheel, the car starts moving slowly to the left.

I haven't done anything to the suspension yet, just bone stock.

Maybe my head isn't attached to my body correctly.. hahaha
