Hello everyone,

The steering wheel seems to be a little crooked to the left.

Whenever I go straight, I realize that my steering wheel is crooked 1-2 mm to the left. It's easy to notice that the left steering paddle shift is lower than the right one, relative to the indicator/wiper switches.

My wheels: R19 255/35.

Does anybody else have this feeling?

Check tire pressures.

Most likely your alignment is off.

I have undergone the alignment procedure for 5 times so far.
They even allowed me to center the steering wheel myself.

The problem is that in statics, i.e. during the alignment procedure - the steering is 100% straight, but when I drive - it feels like it's crooked about 1 degree.

Can it be that they do not re-initialize some sensor, like G85, or something? They do not do that, btw.

PS: I'm planning to drive a test-drive A5 with the same suspension on the same road, to make sure.

Btw, does anyone have s-line B9 alignment specs?

Most roadways are not perfectly flat to allow water drainage. Does the same 1-2 mm deviation exist in both the left and right lanes while driving?

I don't drive much, but I feel like 95% of the time the steering wheel is inclined to the left. That's the issue: asymmetry.

I know only one place in the town where it gets crooked to the right.

Do we have to calibrate the G85 before doing any mechanical alignment?

I have B9 A4....and have similar situation ....my wheel is noticeably tilted to the left....car tracks straight with no drifting. I don't recall if this is how car was new. I did have a run in with curb,replaced tire. Holding off on alignment don't think I need one but maybe so....its probably $150.

Does the car drive straight if you release the steering?

Donald Bruno

Yes...hands off wheel and tracks straight ...no drifting. I don't view this as a problem....had car state inspected and tires show no sign of uneven wear..only been a couple thousand since curb incident. Its just annoying to me and can't recall it being like it is when new. Front left tire was replaced and balanced. All tires have same air pressure....so it goes.....at some point will go for alignment but not quick to spend money I don't have to.
