I've had this problem with three of my last Chevys.....2001 S-10, 2002 Blazer, and 2004 SSR. Each car was built and delivered with the steering wheel off 12 o'clock (crooked). The S-10 had to go in five times until the dealer got it right, the Blazer once, and now the SSR has been to the dealer and it's "close". I'd like it to be perfect.
I tried my luck today by spinning each tie rod end one turn in the same direction to correct the problem and to my surprise found that it moved the steering wheel about 10-15 degrees so I put them back to original. My guess is that if I change one tie rod I'll 1) move the steering wheel about 5-7 degrees which does not solve the problem and 2) screw up my front end alignment. When at the dealer I was told that they moved the steering wheel not the tie rod ends which I think is BS!
Anyone out there know if my steering wheel can be set to 12 o'clock dead on?
If so how/where can I get this done best?
