First Question in C6. Steering
Hello everyone, I have just purchased a new to me C6. I notice that when turning the steering wheel does not rotate back to center when exiting the turn. My question is if this is normal or did I inherit a problem. Thanks for you input.

This is usually just a caster alignment issue. Usually you want positive caster where the lower ball joint is in front of the upper joint so that the wheel naturally "unwinds" back to straight after turning. You should be able to get this adjusted during a normal wheel alignment. Not a big deal except for maybe some unnatural tire wear.
