I had a 93 grand Cherokee like that and it drove me bananas. Can't say I've picked up on it in my OBS or NBS.

Look closely, then let me know what you think! My other cars are all spot on dead center.

My 2004 Denali is centered. How far off center are they? It can't be too much or it would effect the drivers relationship with the airbag.

Okay, just throwing it out there...

What if they designed it like this for easier getting in/out of the vehicle?

My steering column is centered but its angle is askew. I don't notice it unless I'm looking at the steering wheel relative to the hood over the instrument cluster. The wheel is not aligned with that hood.

I'll get a pic and post it.

It appears to be just a hair off to the right. I think i never noticed because I usually drive with the bottom spoke and my arm on the armrest...

Could you please take a picture of yours too? Maybe the Denali is different.

The NNBS cluster hood is curved and not straight like in the NBS. The hood curve is very similar in arc and size to the shape of the steering wheel, so they appear to be concentric circles---which makes any misalignment very noticeable when you focus on it.

Actually, in my case, the steering wheel seems pretty straight but the hood seems oriented slightly to the right. I don't notice it all the time, only when my OCD kicks in.

The pic I took this AM in my garage is too dark to see what I'm talking about. Will try again outdoors tomorrow when the sun is out again.
