Will a new control arm make my Z.....
...steering wheel straight? My steering will sits off center when driving straight. If I turn the wheel to make it straight and the car will drift right. I just had the TSB (wheel swap) done for feathering and the dealer said they needed to order a control arm. Is this the soloution?

I had this happen once. The mechanic probably did a front wheel alignment and screwed up the center position of the wheel.
Get another dealer to do an alignment the right way.

IIRC making sure the steering wheel is straight inline with the front tires is an alignment issue, not a control arm issue. Whoever did your alignment probably didn't make sure the steering wheel was straight. Happened to me before too. Go back and complain, they should re-align free of charge.
