Long story short. Got a rebuilt carbon fiber OEM steering wheel, put on, the teeth on steering won't match the teeth on the column, it is in the middle of two teeth, causing the steering to off center just a little, like 2-3 degree max.

The alignment of my car before the swap is good since I just got the car as CPO from dealer, and it drives well.

Sure get it re-aligned will fix it, but I think I can DIY.

I think the only thing "off" is the toe. My question is can I just adjust the toe without touching others by myself? I mean if I adjust the same amount of toe rod rotation of both front wheels, will this fix my uncentered steering and not causing other alignment issue?

Thanks.

 

Since toe is all that can be adjusted up front, yeah, you can.

 

what about the steering angle sensor? can I just ignore it? since if I adjust at the tie-rod, the car should go straight while my steering is centered, the sensor is reading a little tiny bit off (1 or 2 degree). People said TCS uses this angle, but this small off should cause any problem?

 

Don't know.
