Offset steering wheel

G37 2011 Coupe 25700 miles

I have two issues

offset steering wheel - fixed by wheel alignment twice but issue returns after 200 /300 miles

ESP and Slip Indactor lights come on after 3 or 4 miles - then BA light comes on - booked into dealer but six week waiting time ... ???

Any body have similar issues ..

best regards

Graham

Issue 1: if the allignment is going out of whack every 300 miles, you might have a worn or damaged tie rod end.

Issue 2: could be numerous things, but the first thing to try is adding a little fluid to the brake fluid reservoir. Sometimes it gets low as your breaks wear and the sensor trips as the fluid sloshes around. It will barely look low and you won't have to add much if this is the problem

Well, unfortunately it doesn't seem it was the cheap fix. Be sure to report back after the dealership diagnoses so other forum users with this problem can refer back

Interesting thing about the offset steering wheel. Mine has been off for a few months. I got new tires last month and I told the alignment tech to make sure the wheel was centered, but in order to drive straight the wheel is cocked to the left. Why would the wheel be so tough to be on center?

You're probably compensating for the road crown.
