Yeah, it definitely is, but only by a couple degrees to the left and the car seems to pull to the right to me. I've brought this up several times to the GM shop manager and even though it says on the paperwork that it has been realigned, the exact position of the steering wheel (slightly to the left) still remains as if they've done nothing to the car.

So I should definitely insist that it's perfectly centered, or am I asking for too much? I realize I shouldn't have used GM to do this particular service, but the manager swore he had the best/latest alignment machine. Apparently it's not that great, or they don't know how to use it, right?

food for thought....on one of my c7's not driven much 10 mo.s old 620mil. wheel was dead center. past mo.off little to the left . car goes stright ,no pull at any speed . this had happen on some of my past vettes .........after watching i noticed while trying to get in and out of the car i pulled veyr hard ( you guessed it ) on the . side of the wheel.as above your car might need some kind of adj. but if it doesn't take a look at how you are getting in and out .
