Title: Drivers Seat not Centered with Steering Wheel
Post by: lockedout9 on March 01, 2006, 03:45:40 PM
I've been driving another car lately so when I got back to driving my 87 tbird I noticed that the drivers seating position was not centered with the steering wheel.  On my 87 the steering wheel is right of center a couple of inches compared to the drivers seat.  Checked the seat and it was mounted securely, so was the steering wheel.  So I wonder why Ford made my car like that?  All these years and I just now noticed it.  Are your tbirds like this or is mine the only one?

Maybe not.  Maybe the other car's steering wheel was too far left of center.

I noticed the same with my new racing seats, and the mustang seats I swapped in.  I wonder, but after a small while, I guess i just got used to hanging my left hand from the wheel while resting my right on the console.

It's Fox cars in general...they are off center. SN95's put the steering wheel a little more toward centered but it's still off a bit.

And that is also why we have the infamous Fox seatback twist. ;)
