No, it's not crooked on its rotational axis. But rather, it's closer to the dash on the left side to the tune of 3/4". I'm not quite sure how I missed this over the past 2+ years, but I sat in the car today and, whoa, felt weird. I removed it and slipped it back over the splines and tightened the nut down just because. Obviously you can't cock it on the shaft to this extent. No accidents, hits, etc. I grab the wheel and wiggle, very solid in every direction. I don't know how this can even happen. Thoughts?

The seat is not centered on the wheel. The angle is to compensate.

The seat is not centered on the wheel. The angle is to compensate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The design of the 914 to use the 911 pedal box and steering gear required that the driver's seat is tilted inboard about 2 or 3 degrees. |
