Is it normal for the steering wheel to be slightly off-center to the left?

It is normal for the steering wheel to be slightly off-center to the left. Steps to adjust the steering wheel: 1. Swap the left and right wheels or simply adjust the tie rod nut underneath; 2. Turn the wheels to full lock, then use a wrench to loosen the tie rod nut. If the steering wheel is slightly off-center to the right or left, as long as the vehicle can automatically return to center and maintain straight-line driving, it indicates that the chassis alignment is basically normal. This issue is generally related to two factors: one is the steering wheel itself, and the other is the toe angle of the wheels. If the steering wheel itself is misaligned, it can be corrected by removing and realigning it, but this method is only applicable when the deviation angle is large, because the steering wheel and the steering column are connected by splines, and each spline tooth has a fixed angle, so minor deviations cannot be corrected by adjusting the steering wheel. If the front wheel toe position is incorrect, when the steering wheel deviation angle is small, slight correction can be achieved by adjusting the front wheel toe.
