Steering Wheel not centered on brand new '09 cobalt
Hey guys, I just bought a brand new 2009 cobalt lt a few days ago and i noticed that the steering wheel is not centered properly. If i let go of the wheel, the power steering centers it a degree or two to the left. it is barely noticable but because of this, the car slowly drifts to the left. it is much more noticable at speeds of 100km/h+.
would this have anything to do with the alignment? or should the steering wheel just be tuned slightly to the right?
im gonna go to the dealership in a few days to see what they can do about it.

nah i dont think anybody ran into any curbs before i got it. the dealership got it 2 days before i came in and it had 3km on the odometer on it. but anything is possible i guess.
i came to the dealership yesterday and they told me to break it in for a bit and if the problem remains that i should come in then. they said they dont touch the steering until the car has at least 3000km on it. ive got about 280km on it right now :S

i had my car aligned 3 times before the dealer finally said its not my alignment but my steering column, for some reason they couldn't adjust it and just replaced it.
