Late last year I did two things, 1) replaced the OEM steering wheel with a Swedit unit and 2) repalced the OEM tires with Michelin PS4S. Both were done within ~1 week of eachother. Ever since then my steering wheel sits slightly off (which is really annoying since my wheel now has a red stripe at the top). Basically if I have the wheel "straight" the car will drive ever so slightly to the right (most noticable at highway speeds >45mph). I thought this may be due to the road being pitched for drainage, but even on flat areas or areas that are pitched to the left I never seems to drive "true." I took the car in for an alignment and Honda said it's all within spec.
So now I feel like I'm going crazy, is it possible that I warped the steering column when replacing the wheel? It took some effort to get the nut holding the wheel free (had to use a torque bar). Or maybe the car was like this from the factory and I just didn't notice it with the factory wheel? Anybody else notice something similar with their unmodified car?
