Crooked steering wheel

Anyone else deal with it on new trucks, the company I work for is strictly mack, I’ve been with them for 12 years so I’ve had visions pinnacles and now anthems, previous to the anthems I never had any steering issues. 2019 I was issued a brand new anthem and it was crooked as heck, immediately went to the alignment shop, fought that beast for 5 years, 2 weeks ago I was assigned a 2025 anthem, better steering characteristics but still a crooked steering wheel, I’m working to get it straight as it breaks in, but I’m wondering do these other manufacturers face this same issue?

 

That’s what I’m doing, they’re super finicky, so every move left it needs a little tweak to the right. This truck follows the road like a fat man to the buffet, I’m counteracting it all day.

 

Another issue as well, there’s sensors in the steering wheel of this new fangled stuff, go to messing with it too much and it throws a code so Ive been told. The dealer simply takes the wheel off and moves it, our mechanics adjust it on the steering shaft, so mixed information but I’m the one stuck with the visually inconsistent wheel. Why can’t they leave well enough alone, hell the steering wheel isn’t even round in this thing, looks like something out of a video game, boy I miss the old days when trucks were simple.

 

@AModelCat I’m not exactly sure, I’m no mechanic by any means, I know we adjust at both the what I would call, linkage, near the steering box, and in the wheel itself. I question the pre delivery inspection as well, going straight down the road the steering wheel was initially 45 degrees to the right, my 2019 was an absolute nightmare, I took delivery and took it straight to the alignment shop. I will say Mack made massive improvements in the feel of the steering, it’s more comfortable and predictable, but the truck feels crooked at times and definitely tracks the road like no other truck I’ve driven.
