anyone have any idea why my steering wheel would go off centre?
when I got the car it was perfectly centred in a straight line, now it is about 30 degrees to the right for a straightline???
all i have had done since getting the car is HKS coilovers, could these be the problem and does anyone know how to sort it

Hitting a curb, or pot hole, and knocking the tracking out.

cheers mate, I had the tracking done at ATS straight after they were fitted, they said it was (3 something) of on 3 wheels and then set it to UK spec, does anyone know if the tracking is set differently on imports?
if so what is the info so i can get it sorted

thanks

A good geometry set-up can drastically improve the handling of a Scoob. I'd recommend asking around your local enthusiasts who they recommend in your area, as local tyre places will be unaware of the benefits of Prodrive fast road settings. I had mine set up by a guy who is contracted in by Williams F1 to set up each seasons new chassis and it has been on rails ever since. There are people on here who will travel many hundreds of miles just to get Powerstation to do their set-up, such is their reputation.

 

So when did the steering wheel become off centre?
Was it when you picked it up from ATS?
If so, then they didn't do the job properly.

A little confused as to whether the steering is on the **** straight after ATS's alignment or after fitment of the Coilovers.
In any case the coilovers themselves wouldn't cause an issue with the steering position, that's all down to doing a good job aligning it.
Most probable cause as Mark said is you have hit a pothole or curb and knocked it out.
Either that or something wasn't done up tight and it's slipped.

its was off before the tracking was done, i think. but cant remeber tbh as it was on the same day.
