kazman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi I had a 4 wheel alignment done on my car the other day and although it has improved the feel of the car (front toe was wrong), and sorted out the rear camber on one of my wheels, the steering wheel is no longer centred when driving in a straight line. I am going to go back to them to see if they can sort it, but if they claim that it's not their fault etc can I take it to a garage without 4 wheel alignment equipment to sort it out? I ask as the next nearest place with the full kit is about 40 miles away. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 haha even if they do sort it out i really doubt the steering wheel itself will be centred when the car goes straight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazman Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Why is that sorry? It did before the alignment and the toe was out by the same amound between the two front wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Common sense tells me that they have taken the adjustment out on one side only rather than on both track rod ends ...... a bit lazy if you ask me.......... It would p!ss me off too ................. take it back and ask them to do it properly so that the steering wheel is properly aligned ..

kazman Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yep, agree totally. I did question if they had locked the wheel off whcich they said they ha. They are not a bad bunch there but I had this exact problem when I took my last car. They sorted that on the 2 nd attempt. If they can't get it right though, can I take it to somewhere without 4 wheel alignment equipment (as I just need the front sorted/centred with the wheel), or will it still need a specialist for this if I do not want to lose my new toe settings? And why the claim that I will never get the wheel centred properly again?!? If that's the case I would suggest never having a geometry alignment...
