Is it normal for a new car's steering wheel to be 5 degrees off to the left?

[DiAllie]

Normally, the steering wheel of a new car should be perfectly aligned. If the steering wheel is tilted to the left, it indicates a quality issue. Relevant information: 1. Abnormal causes: This is often due to improper assembly of the steering wheel by the manufacturer or issues with tire pressure and four-wheel dynamic balance. You can directly visit a 4S shop for a detailed inspection or reassembly, and if necessary, you can apply for certain compensation. 2. Precautions: Vehicle deviation refers to the phenomenon where the car tends to veer to one side while driving straight on a flat road, causing the centerline of the front and rear axles to be inconsistent with the centerline of the driving trajectory. Vehicle deviation can directly lead to tire wear, tire scrapping, and in severe cases, may cause tire blowouts and loss of vehicle control, leading to dangerous situations. To determine if the vehicle is deviating, you can clearly feel the need to constantly apply force to keep the steering wheel aligned. If you don't feel this, it may not be a case of steering deviation.
