Steering is off..?

Post by Joz »

Yet another time I have to seek help with the gods in here :p

I have recognized that my steering is slightly off. When going in a straight line, the wheel is prob 5-10 degrees to the left. Its not When accelerating or braking, it's not like a "pull", it's just ... All the time!

Is this a prob the dealer have to take care off? Or is it fixable at home?

I think you need to check all suspension bushes and steering joints for any wear. :(

Get your tracking done at any reputable tyre station and then if I still does not sit straight take it off and straighten it :)

I did indeed. However, problem was there before I didi it, but then I sint really notice it due to my circular steeringwheel ;) now though, it's really annoying!!
