Another M-Sport Wheel Installed!

I just installed it last night - very easy after reading the installation articles 1000 times! I pulled the airbag fuse instead disconnecting the battery. With that, it took me 15 minutes flat to make the swap, and no warning lights after all was buttoned up. However, I did have one glitch... When I took it for it's first test drive, the wheel was just slightly cocked to the right when going straight ahead - perhaps 7 - 10 degrees, although the alignment marks appeared to be just about dead on. I've read a few other posts where folks had the same issue. Well, I was not happy with that at all - it would certainly drive me crazy. So, back into the garage, fuse out, airbag off. I turned the wheel back to the left just one spline on the shaft. It seemed to look like a lot at first and I thought for sure it would be cocked the other way on the next test drive. The alignment marks were actually a little less in line than when I did it the first time, but still really close. Well, I buttoned everything back up for test run 2 and it was dead on - psyched!

Thanks for all the help & tips everyone! - especially Rob, Jeff, & JV!

Here's a couple pics...
