I bought a 1999 Cobra recently – very nice car – completely un-modded. I have a question however – I know I can’t rely 100% on the carfax or DMV report that said the car was never in an accident – but I have seen no evidence to suggest the car was ever hit – and I have spent a lot of time underneath looking for the telltale signs. However – the problem I have is that the steering wheel is crooked – not in an “off center” way – but more side to side – ie: the distance from the wheel to the dashboard is less on the
left side of the wheel than the right side. Maybe a half inch or more – I’ve not measured it yet – but it’s definitely “off”. The car tracks straight as an arrow and there’s no pull when driving. If I take my hands of the wheel – there’s no drift either way. I’m really not sure what to do about this – or should I even be concerned. Previous owner did not have any clue if anything was done (he was the second owner as it was) Does anybody have any ideas if this is something to be concerned about ?
Thanks in advance –
