Steering Column Replaced Today!

My steering column was replaced today. It was "jerking" during parking and pulling out of the garage. I guess it was a BMW SB.

My steering wheel is still off to left. It seems the car favors to the left. I noticed when I drive on the other side of the road (crown) the steering wheel is straight, when you would think it would be off to the right?

I also noticed that all the loaners (325/330) I had in the past also favor to the left??? Could this be the bad RFT BRIDGESTONES?

sound like you need an alignment. My wheel USED to be straight ahead when going straight, with NO pulls.... lately it's turned a little left when going straight, and it pulls right... I need an alignment too.

make sure your tire pressures are correct and even on both sides before you consider the alignment.

If one tire is severly deflated, it will pull your car in that direction...
