Over time I've dealt with this in both of my Camaros, but its starting to get annoying. The steering wheel or the k members arnt set right, because I have to hold the wheel to the right slightly to keep it straight. Nothing rattles, nothing shakes, the wheel just needs to be held at a different position than it should. Do help, please!

Re: Steering thingy...
Now is the car pulling or is it that you the steering wheel isn't dead center?
Is the road tilted?
Have you aligned your car?
Is one of you caliper piston stuck?
Do you have different tires?
Are your tire inflated correctly?
Have you checked your bearing assembly?
Are your tie rods worn?
Post your alignment before and after measurments. -
Re: Steering thingy...
New tie rods, new brakes, new tires, flat road...it just might be that the steering wheel isnt centered from a possible repair. How should I center it?

Re: Steering thingy...
if you never pulled the steering wheel of, then the steering wheel doesn't need to come off. You can adjust the position of the wheel by adjusting the tie rods. Loosen them and adjust them in or out...but I recommend taking it to a shop where they can laser align it.
You said repairs...what repairs? Did you get into an accident?Comment

Re: Steering thingy...
negative. Its quite possible that something was done to the car that affected the steering before I bought it, or my mechanics didnt align it properly.

Re: Steering thingy...
I'd double check the alignment results...get a printout. It'll give you the intial settings and the aligned settings. Your machanic could have very well aligned the car but didn't align the wheel.Comment

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...1 week ago -
