When driving along I’m noticing that the steering is most off centre, slightly to the right on what I would claim to be the flattest of roads. If I hold the wheel in the true centre it would over a 100ft distance curb the wheel.

Is this a given trait of the car or dose it need addressing before possible tyre wear or worse occurs.

edit- when I say off to the right, I have to hold the wheel off to the right slighty to maintain a dead true line, or I will slowly bank to the left.

 

I dont have this problem and would be suprised if it were designed that way! Get it aligned

 

I have this problem, i went and got it aligned and the guy set it spot on center and it didn't work, so we tried setting it slightly out and it worked better. A few times later i gave up lol.

I noticed in the service book the other day there are alignment settings so might try these next time, didn't realise they were there.

I hate alignment, on all my cars it's never been center lol.

His problem seems extreme though, with steering wheel straight, car doesnt drive straight! Much worse than just a slight drift when you let go of the steering wheel

 

Two things to check here, before ANYTHING else:
1. DON'T assume the car will run straight on anything but a level track, runway etc, the effects of camber and wide tyres plays hell. I assume you've got at least the same tyres on each axle and the SAME TYRE PRESSURES?

2. Get the car's geometry set properly first. It may have had a knock, or just be set wrong. Once that is done, set the car to roll dead straight, remove wheel and put it back at centre, job's a good 'un.

This is what i mean, with my wheel center the car steers to the right. To drive straight i have to hold my wheel to the right slightly.

And you are certain beyond any reasonable doubt that it's NOT road camber related?

 

I haven't looked into any other possibilities yet. When i get my new suspension i'm getting it all done so i'll find out then.

Thanks

There’s 30 psi in each wheel, I will consult the manual for the correct settings. Cheers.

 

Remove the wheel

All it needs is clamped in position while the geometry and tracking are corrected

+1

but mine still isn't right either...
