Default Re: BAS/ESP Steering Wheel issue

The BAS/ESP light went off years ago and since then I just put the steering wheel back on straight the other day and now the light is back. I feel like I messed something up with the steering angle sensor since the arrows don’t line up anymore but I thought the reset process would fix the issue but it hasn’t.
The fix isn't in the steering wheel. You said it yourself "one contol arm is about one inch further back than the other" ; That's your problem! Fix the control arm then get your steering wheel back to where it belongs.
