Steering Wheel out of align
 
Hi, i'm new here and hoping that someone can help me out. I've got an 05 Accord that i bought used last year. Just recently i noticed that the steering wheel is not aligned straight up and down when driving, it is slightly turned to the right (maybe between the 12 and 1 on a clock face). My questions are: Is this something that is an inexpensive, easy fix at a shop? Is there something i can to to straighten it out myself? or should i just leave it alone? Am i doing damage (to the tires/otherwise) by driving it this way? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help received.

welcome to the forum. If the front tires are not cupping and ware is good ( with rotation each 5k miles ) and while driving on a flat level road and does not pull to the left or right, it is ok. Other wise do a wheel alighment ( 65.00 ) most dealers. The Honda does not come from the factory with a alighment.

Thank you so much for your answer. My car does not pull left or right while driving on a level road so i guess i'm OK. It is just annoying to glance down and see the wheel turned right while going straight.

When you decide to do a 4 wheel alignment at Honda, make them aware that the steering wheel is out of clock. then they can alighn the steering wheel at the same time the wheels are done.
