    anyone else noticed the steering wheel?

    i've noticed the steering wheel in my ABY coupe is not lined up the same as in my old 3B.
    The 3b wheel matched the curve of the dash and clocks when looking at it head on. All central and square and tidy.

    My ABY sits skewed off to the side and not central so when you look at it head on its at an angle and looks awkward and clumsy!

    Maybe related to servotronic steering absence i guess.

    Call me picky, but this is bugging me. Maybe i have OCD.

      I think it's a well known trait, and it annoys me a bit too

        It might have been tracked with the steering wheel off centre.
        The steering wheel might have been removed (for stalk/ dash bulb change ) and not put back properly.

          Steering wheel boss is eccentric by about 10mm.

              What rusty said, the boss might be positioned wrong.
              Take the wheel off and then IIRC 6 hex head machine screws the take the boss off

                this looks like it was made like it. Not just the wheel out. The column shroud and everything is different.
