How to rotate 90° the Wheel Collider in the Y to align it along the X axis?

Wheel Collider is oriented aligned to be used along the Z axis by default.

Is it possible to rotate 90° the Wheel Collider in the Y to align it along the X axis?

My Models are oriented along the X axis and not in the Z axis as the Wheel Collier. When i attache the wheel collider is not align properly. If i rotate the Game object of the wheel collier, the wheel collier do not rotate. Is this a bug? If I rotate my model (main parent game object) the wheel rotates with it and remain 90° to the model.

Using Unity 5.2.0f2

What can i do to resolve the problem?

 

Solution using WheelCollider.steerAngle

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class WheelRotation : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     // drag and drop the the wheel collider game object into the slot in the inspector
7.     public WheelCollider wheelGameObject;
8.     public float angle;    // assign correct angle in the inspector (90°)
9.  
10.     void Awake ()
11.     {
12.         wheelGameObject.steerAngle = angle;
13.     }
14. }

 

That's a correct solution. Please be aware that WheelColliders are set to support rotations in a future Unity upgrade, so you might be able to remove this workaround.

 

Thanks Edy! do you know where i can follow this particular improvement?
Is there a issue tracker or feedback link?

 

I'm aware that there is an issue tracker entry about this, but I might be private as I haven't been able to find it again. I'd keep looking at the release notes for new Unity 3D versions and patches.
