    I have a few steering wheels all sit around 20 degrees from straight up.
    All work and rotate fine except for 1. It follows a straight up and down around the Y axis. How can I get it to rotate on the 20 degree angle.
    I have tried rotating the pivot but that just rotates the wheel instead and puts it out of position. I then tried reset xform, that fixed the wheel position but rotates like my issue.
    I know all I did with the other wheels was center pivot.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Check your cockpit.ini for "SteeringWheelAxis". Probably your issue.

    I would agree to toebees Hint.

    Use the sin and cos values for the 20°:

    SteeringWheelAxis=(0.0, sin, cos)

    20º is the angle between the wheel and an horizon plane?

    With a 0 angle, the cockpitinfo.ini entry should look like this
    SteeringWheelAxis=(0, 0, 1)
    If you look from the side into the car and the steering wheel don't "oscillates" when you turn it, everything is ok.

    SteeringWheelAxis=(0, sin,cosin) and it works as you said [SteeringWheelAxis=(0, 0, 1)]
