Steering column not being square to the car.

[MrMoparCHP]

Has anybody ever noticed that the steering column on the C-Body (at least the 69’s) is not square in the car? You need to have a longer left arm.

The vertical plane of the column is not parallel to the center of the car. First time I saw this I thought it was an illusion, nope.

On the A-Body the column is square but not centered on the seat.

My '71 is like that too. Don't know about Slabs or Formals.

Yes...I used to think my blue 70 convertible had damage until I noticed all other 70 were like that. I only recently noticed my blue 71 is also like that. My brown 71 was not and neither was my first 71. I didn't have my 69 long enough to care

I guess they figured we wouldn't notice. :laughing7:

I actually didn't notice it until just a couple of years ago, when I was working on my car and I've owned my car since 1993. I never noticed it while I was driving.
