I installed a new toilet and it looks lopsided. I did remove the old
wax ring with a putty knife.. I then put new johnny bolts and layed
the new wax ring. The bathroom floor is leveled. When I look at this
toilet it looks lopsided.. I want to fix this, Could it be that the
wax ring is a wrong size? and is hitting the johnny bolt?? I really
want to fix this any help would be great.. Again the floor is leveled
and my old toilet did not look lopsided
Wax rings are a nuisance. I have used the Fernco waxless seals on both
toilets in my house.
Some times they are hard to find, but are so much better.
I ended up at Amazon. It all depends on your local area.

anyone who was following this thread--- I removed the toilet
completely- took a level and found the flange to be level 100%... The
floor too. I then set the toilet on the floor and found it to be
somewhat lopsided ... Bought a new wax ring, installed toilet and put
a shim under one side.. Took level and found it to be 100% level...
Flushed toilet and toilet began to leak on side of shim.... Removed
shim, flushed toilet, no leak... Toilet still lopsided.... Looks like
there is a defect in the "China" -
Bravo! Now you have a definite answer.
I would now contact the supply house and ask for a replacement bowl as yours
has a factory defect.
If they balk at this, then take your case to American Standard.
You don't want to mess with shims as the bowl is designed to sit flat on the
floor.
