Steering wheel not straight

When driving in a perfectly straight line my steering wheel is slightly to the right. I'm guessing this has happened due to tracking and stuff in the past. Anyone know how I can straighten it back to normal?

Go to a tyre garage to get your tracking done. If you've had the steering taken off then it might not have been replaced straight.

do it soon too. I had this prob and left it for a while, cost me 100 odd quid for 2 new front tires as the tracking wore them down.

Probably just the tracking.

But just to be on the safe side check braking with your hands off the wheel and make sure the car pulls up in a straight line, check the inner-wings for any signs of trouble, as well as the suspension, steering for bent items also is there any vibration through the steering wheel?

For the steering wheel to be quite away off centre it's worth checking the above, just in case itâ€™s had a smack in the past.
