It actually makes it hard to determine if the wheel is centered or not. The center seems to move around based on the lean of the road.
Ok. This makes sense a bit.

But my steering wheel gets more and more off center the more I wheel.....



I've lost track of how to find center anymore. I know I am centered when I am going straight....

I hope to change this soon.
