Clubsport V2.5 BMW wheel and base - issue with centering and calibration

Hi guys -
I'm new to sim racing, although I've had my set-up for a few years after buying it from a friend. I have an issue with my Clubsport V2.5 BMW wheel and thought you could potentially help and/or someone may have encountered the same problem.
Everything worked well for the first year, although I didn't use it that much. But, and this first happened a couple of years ago and I was too busy to address it, the wheel no longer centers correctly, so when I drive it, the wheel jerks every second while I'm cornering.
When I fire it up, the wheel centers almost all the way to the left. My wheel has 900-deg of motion, and if center is 0-deg, the wheel self-centers to -340-deg to the left. So when I try to calibrate it in iRacing, I get a quarter-turn to the left, and then 2.5 turns to the right.
Any idea what this is?
Thanks in advance.

Which firmware are you running ? Make sure if you have update the wheel firmware , you do the center calibration in the Fanatec Driver control under the "Settings" tab..
I apologize for what is likely a very dumb question, but I'm new to this. Where do I download the firmware from, and how to do access 'Fanatec Driver Control'? Is it all through this website somewhere?
The Fanatec driver is the Fanatec Wheel Properties program that I assume you installed on your PC (and that you used to determine the angle offset of the steering wheel).
Firmware is contained within the Fanatec driver (Update tab).
You could also contact Fanatec Support through the Fanatec website (assuming that you registered your product on the site).
I appreciate the reply. I did not install the 'Fanatec Wheel Properties' program on my sim PC. I bought the package used from a friend and simply calibrated the wheel when I joined and entered iRacing. I still need to register my wheel and pedals on the Fanatec website, as I did not do this either when I bought the used kit.
you have to install Fanatec drivers as Windows Drivers are not working.
