steering wheel off center after a drop

Just lowered my g37 sedan 3 days ago and now I noticed my steering wheel is off center and it pulls slightly to the right. Waiting for the springs to settle and will do alignment soon. Is this normal after a drop? Hope this issue is corrected after the alignment. Will post pics later when car is clean.

No idea if that is normal after lowering your car....but from my experience, anytime you tweak steering related component, get an alignment. Good luck!

Definitely need an alignment. Smart of you to wait til the springs settle though...

Yes it's normal. Your alignment may be far out of whack and this can cause the wheel to be off center. Be sure to mention it when you take it in for alignment.

Thank you to all who replied. I kinda know it's not a biggie but I was just concerned about the tire wear. Will definitely have an alignment after the springs settle in about a week.
