just noticed my steering wheel is turned slightly to the left when the car is going in a straight line or when i let go of the wheel, if i steer it to be straight then the car will vear off to the right?

know what i mean?

could anything be wrong?

Narr it is just where the tracking has been adjusted on the one side everytime..

Last time I had my tracking done they adjusted both sides to make the steering wheel straight.. the reason it had only been adjusted one side previous was obvious at that point as the nut was solid and they had to heat it with a blow torch to get it undone

If the tracking is out the car will pull to one side when you let go of the wheel or the tyres will wear uneven.

Have you changed your steering wheel at all ?? If not then JGM will be correct.

cheers JGM

no i havent changed the steering wheel,

dont think ive noticed the wheel like that before, think bit paranoid because i clipped a curb (OSR wheel) last night, and started trying to listen / look for probs, but everything seems ok

if you clipped a kerb then it might be worth getting the tracking checked and ask them to reset the steering wheel straight when they do it too..

If it is correct as it is then you shouldn't get charged anyway.
But it the car drives straight when you let go of the wheel then unlikely to be a fault.

I've got exactly the same problem with mine, car drives in a straight line but the stearing wheel is angled to the left. if i turn it to the right the car stears to the right. Its been like this since i had the 4 wheel alignment done 6-7 months ago. tyres havn't worn out uneavenly. I'll have it sorted next time i get 4wheel allignment done. As said above, it doesn't seem to be anything serious

I have same problem.

scoobylav

Take your steering wheels off move round one notch and replace.

Mika

And you think that I haven't try it ?
Then steering wheel is angled to the right.

scoobylav

that is a problem then you must be just out then. I had the same problem when I changed my wheel it took me a while to get it straight.

peccles, i did the same last summer
got a set of tracking guages on it and its fine, but i can see the camber has visibly changed a bit, probably the rear control arms, im planning to swap them for the whiteline adjustable ones in good time and have a proper 4w alignment done

strange tho its not so easy to spot the diffrences now its been lowerd ??

Too many RH Donots with your diff-lock on

You need to balance it out with some LH spins

Seriously!!!, though, It is bad probaly adjustment one way and time for a 4wheel alignment to Prodrive settings. - Any excuse!
