After I just read this (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showpost.php?p=262602&postcount=8) today, makes me think about bringing in the car soon before one year is up.
I got my prokits installed last year, did the recommended alignment at a local garage. I always thought my steering wheel was off by 5 degrees to the left, like it's one spline out. Noticed this last year but blew if it off as nothing. I sure as hell ain't going to move it a spline over. Funny thing is there is no extra pulling from the wheels.
I was driving home yesterday from the auto show and for some reason I noticed it again but I determined a test. I took the speedo line of 0 and the middle of the 'M' on the wheel and when I'm driving straight, the bottom of the steering wheel is 1/2-3/4 of and inch out to the left. Sure enough, when I put it in the "straight" position I slightly turn left. Is it possible to correct such a problem from an alignment procedure? I feel the more I notice it, the more it bugs me.
