After tightening my torsion bars (for an inch)and getting an alignment 200 miles later, H2 drives straight as an arrow but my steering wheel is 10 degrees off of center when driving straight. What can this be? The computer printout post-alignment shows everything within normal limits. So what's up?

It seems the H2 overly exagerates the off-camber drive to some degree. You can be driving on flat delta-land interstate and just the grade of the roadbed to remove rainfall will cause one to turn the wheel "up hill" some.

Drive over the crown and it will settle the other way.

Could just be that they didn't align your front with the steering wheel/pitman arm.

Make sure it's not road camber and take it back and have them check it again with the wheel straight. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
