Why is my car's steering wheel slightly turned to the right while driving ?

Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening ? I am using keyboard and mouse btw.

Do you mean the wheel is installed off-center in the car or that the car pulls to the right? In the latter case do a wheel alignment at the Test Path.

Yeah I've guessed that the wheels were unaligned but the fact that the steering wheel was rotated made me wonder if something else was wrong and I didn't have the test path yet so I couldnt check it

Could be a bug then... Another quirk: I took a car to the test path and deliberately threw the alignment way off. The steering wheel was still centered, both parked and while driving. At the track the car should have pulled wildly to the right base on how I misaligned it but drove as though the alignment were perfect. I guess once you align a car it stays aligned regardless of what you do afterwards or what the alignment machine says. I even tried taking the wheels off and putting them back on to see if that would somehow trigger the misalignment in the game (dunno, shot in the dark) - nope, still straight and true.

I've bought the test path, then aligned the wheels and finally the wheel is centered. Idk I thought it was weird too but now it works so ty.

Hey, very very late here, but actually the steering wheel looking off-centered is normal, is how a really bad alignment looks like in real life, so no bug 👍🏻
