I installed a jdm spec c steering wheel today...

after I drove it for 10 mins, I noticed that my steering wheel slightly tilted to the right when I was going straight.

What did I do wrong during the installation or is there any way I can align it properly?

This is how it looks like when my wheels are straight

You are a couple teeth off. I had the same problem. I just uninstalled it and moved it a couple of teeth over. I would think it would be the same for the JDM spec wheel. But then of course, who knows!

By the way, it looks sweet! :twisted:

once I remove the steering wheel again, should I move the arrow thingy at the back to the left?

I assume I have to leave my wheels straight again, remove the steering wheel as it is in my pic and spin that thing to the left?

Shit, I am drawing a blank. I just remember pulling the wheel off and moving it over, I don't remember to much about it. Sorry man. If I remember I will hook it up.

good, sorry I wasn't any help. Next time I do crap like this I will have to video tape myself (bow chicka bow wow) doing it so I can go back and do an instant replay to refresh my mind.

Looks killer, you likes?

I was off 1-2 teeth when I put mine on also. Had to have the airbag unbolted while driving around to check, stop, adjust, drive, stop, adjust, etc.

Love this wheel.

I dont know how to explain it...

basically I just had to reinstall the wheel.

First, you gotta make sure the wheels are straight and then just tried to move the steering wheel a teeth or 2 to the left..

that's it
