Steering Wheel not straight
« on: March 12, 2011, 10:47:47 am »
After getting my refurbed wheels back Im having to steer slightly to the left to go straight. If I take the car to have its tracking/wheel alignment looked at will it cure this? The car tracked straight and true before taking them off for the refurb. Any help would be much appreciated!  :happy2:

Bit odd if they were correct beforehand. Are the wheels fitted correctly??

Get the alignment done mate. I had the same prob, had my car in at audi and they never fixed it. Striaghten the wheel up and i was heading to the hedge. Had my new clutch fitted 2wks ago and the problem has been solved, feels great it was driving me mad. Really not 100% what cured it and i never asked but i'm guessing they realign everthing once finished. Stevie.

Thanks for that. The guys at S.E.M. who refurbed the wheels looked a bit confused too as it happened whilst having their spare wheels on. Maybe this has caused the problem. I just dont want to waste money getting the tracking done if its not going to cure the problem - its driving me mad too!!

Just had the tracking done, £30 worse off and whilse the steering wheel is pointing in the right direction the cars pulling to left ever so slightly.  :surprised: I think it'll be going in again!
