Question

Guys,

Just got my car back from getting it's 4 wheel alignment and geometry done.

Noticed that the steering wheel is slighty of centre.

How do I correct this or would I need to take it to a garage?

Cheers.

Ali.

Cheers Si,

Only thing is it's 25 miles away!!!

Do you think a tyre place like kwik fit would be able to sort it?

Cheers.

Don't work around the garage that did the alignment originaly, they should have clamped the wheel straight before adjusting anything.

I wouldn't let kwik fit at it incase they wind off your new! settings by mistake.

Plus, it's realy anoying when your wheel's slightly off center.

Happened to me when i had my alignment done. Told them it was naff and they sorted it for nowt - with puzzled looks as to how it got like that.


I would definitely not use a different garage to correct it.
