Thank you again for the warm welcome! I have been meaning to ask, and there is most likely a thread already, but just searching steering wheel, is almost futile for the sheer amount of search results. Anyways, when I bought my X, the steering wheel was not centered, when driving straight, it is rotated about 20 degrees to the left. Is this something that I can quickly fix? Honestly I have almost gotten used to it, but it is still annoying.

A nudge in the right direction would help.

Thank you!

When you have it aligned, tell them to center the wheel. It should be done anyway, most likely a lazy "tech" did it last. It annoys the crap oughta me when it's not straight.

In addition to the links to adjust steering wheel. Drive the truck in straight, which means the steering wheel is 20 degrees off like you said. Adjust the collar until steering wheel is straight (center.) This way you adjust one time only.
