steering wheel alignment?
Just noticed on my 02 wrx when driving in a straight line the steering wheel is slightly to the right, is this a problem with wheel alignment? or the steering wheel not fitted properly? or a sign of accident damage?
cheers manners.

My MY 02 Bugeye did this from new. I also had to "gently" hold the wheel to the right to stop it driving into the hedges on the left here in Cumbria. It wasn't the camber of the road either.
As a "newbie" then I took it to TSL and they fitted eibach springs (optional ish..) and sorted the geometry. Absolutely brilliant !!
There's lots of places that can do this, TSL (obviously), Powerstation (great reviews on Scioobynet) , Micheldever tyres (sorry about the spelling Mr Rawle), local scooby dealer (OK I'm lucky to have Stan Palmers)...etc etc.
Hopefuly someone will post with a local place.

Edited as I noticed you were in Buxton..how about Prosport in Stockport

cheers midlife, won't they sort it under warranty? if not probably take it to scooby clinic.
would the geometry set up straighten the steering wheel?
