Crooked steering wheel fix
 

I have to keep my steering wheel tilting towards one o clock in order for the car to go straight. If I make it straight the car goes left right away.
If I leave the steering wheel at one o clock position the car goes straight and doesn't drift left or right.

So will I need an alignment or I can take off the steering wheel and adjust it straight?

if the car hasn't ever had the steering rack messed with in which throwing off the steering wheel I would go alignment.

alignment for shure! How long have you been driving like this? If long You might of shaved right tire and you will need new front tires to do proper alaigment.

like other said, get an alignment. the toe is probably off hence the off-center steering wheel.

Does Z drive,perform & handle well w/normal tire wear?
I do my own alignment's & the first thing i would check is the TOE on front (inward or outward pointing of front wheels)
This can be done w/common tools & parked on level surface....if you're not mechanically inclined-take to a Professional.
If front toe is 0 or negative a bit (wheels straight ahead or pointing out) with a 13,19&22mm wrench/adjust drivers side tie rod outwards-to give you a tad of Positive Toe (wheels slightly inward on front) & this will bring your steering wheel back to the left.
AlwayZ ck. for loose,bent or worn parts & get a helper as needed to perform this task.
Only being a tad off,probably 1/4-1/2 turn should do it......if the toe is correct;then you can turn both sides equal amounts to center steering wheel/// Drivers side adjust out (pushes rear of tire out) and passengers side in (pulls back of tire inwards)
Always have a bit of Positive toe on front & rear (front of wheels inward) see spec sheet.
Negative Toe is Dangerous to drive on.
Test drive Z after each adjustment is made & re-check measurements.
Hope this isn't TMI....
PS, if you take it to a shop for alignment-be sure fuel tank is full & that they align the rear before moving to the front.

Thanks for the advice.
I just noticed if I am standing still and turn steering all the way to the left the VDC ABS lights come on too.

Sounds like you got more going on than a misaligned wheel; may need to have it checked by a Pro. Those lights could be from numerous causes & that's more important than a steering wheel out of alignment.

a competent alignment shop can get the wheel dead center then reset the steering angle sensor for u.

Sounds like the "thrust angle" is off. Happened on mine when I redid the rear end suspension and had the front and rear wheels pointed in different directions slightly.

Get an alignment.
