Problem With Guide on Back Up Camera
When i use the camera it shows my wheels are slightly turned to the right givjng the impression I am not backed in straight when I am perfectly straight. Any idea what would cause that?
I attached a pic. The right side red bracket is always further out than the left. Thanks! |

It looks like the camera might be twisted to the left - note how you can see more of the bumper at the bottom left of the screen than at bottom right. Check the camera assembly in the bumper and see if it didn't get knocked loose/sideways.

So I basically pull in to the garage, come to a stop and go into reverse so I can see the camera. I judge my distance to the forward facing wall by how close i am to the groove in the driveway in the picture. In the past, the lines were perfect, now they are telling me I am coming in at a slight angle. I am only asking for advice because I have viewed this angle as I pull into my garage many times over the past few years and something has changed it. |

This could be the problem. I bought a new license plate frame that was very snug to mount beneath the camera. There isn't alot of room there. Theres a chance the tag frame may have shifted the camera when I tightened the screws. I will check it out. Thank you!

That sounds like the culprit - I recall having some minor interference with the top of my aftermarket plate frame and the camera as well, now that you mention it!

This kind of camera movement can occur even if a car is lightly hit from behind by another car in a hit and run incident.
Once, when driving my Mustang, a cellphone user ran lightly into the back of my car when she starting braking too late for a red light. There was no apparent external damage, and that particular older model mustang did not have a rear view camera. But a friend warned me to take the car to a body shop for an inspection. Good thing he did. The shop found that while the sruface of the bumper section had popped back to OEM shape, the FOAM behind it had been crushed. If the shop had not replaced the foam, any future hit would have done a LOT of damage to the rear quarters and rear trunk area. Jim G |

It's possible that you need to do a SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration. I just had to do this to my wife's Honda Passport when I put the optional heated steering wheel kit in. If you know somebody that has a more advance OBDII scan tool with diagnostic capabilities, you can perform these tasks with it. I have this one https://autel.com/us/product/maxitpms-ts608/

Agreed, have you had an alignment done recently? A lot of shops don’t bother to reset steering angle sensors after an alignment. That sensor is what makes the lines on the display of the backup cam turn in conjunction with the steering wheel.
