Hey All,
I will get pics up soon, I have a 2006 crew Cab NISMO and I recently noticed that the drivers side bed is slightly lower than the passengers side. I checked tires, of course first. No issues there.
I don't know what, twisted bed maybe? Was in an accident two years ago.

Also My steering wheel is about 1-2 minutes in regards to a clock face off midnight for center. I had a recent wheel alignment done thinking that would fix, however it did not.
Is there a way to take the steering wheel off and move a couple degrees?

The centering of the steering wheel is done during the allignment, take it back to where you had it alligned, I had the same problem. I belive the camber or caster adjustment impacts the steering wheel allignment.
Bed might be twisted take a look at how the bed is sitting on the frame rails.

I guess I will bring back for a wheel alignment. It's weird though....truck runs
perfectly straight with no pull but wheel is off center.

If the bed is twisted am I SOL?

If it is just the bed... spacers can be added to the lowest mounting points. I have not looked but many pick-ups have six bolts holding the bed to the frame. It could be the something in the suspension is weak or bent.. Perhaps a small spacer on one side between the rear axle and spring. A good automotive body man should be able to look at it and see what it needs. Drive it by the house here... I'll look at it!!!

Hope you get it fixed up.. Don S..
