OCD ALERT!!! If you’re OCD then read this with caution!
I’ve noticed since new that the steering column does not appear to be straight in relation to the dash and seats. It doesn’t bother me but it is noticeable. Hopefully the images show what I’m talking about. This could be what the OP is referring to?

I see the problem right off....
The OP stated he had 7 Km on the truck....metric measurements.....
Your measuring using standard inches !!!!!
Measure using metric, multiply by the circumference of the spare tire, divide that by the 7 Km on the truck, and walla......
Problem solved !!!!

My wheel is slightly off by a hair. Truck drives perfectly straight and tires have even wear. It was an issue for me until I finally ignored it lol.

Do you think we have been rude enough to run the OP off this exclusive forum yet? I, for one, certainly hope so.

"By a hair" is a relative measurement....
You must be specific as to what you used to measure.....
A horse or cow hair is much thicker than a human hair, and a human hair, is dependant on what color the hair is.....
BE SPECIFIC !!!
