Alignment Issues - Steering wheel not straight

[Robo1]

Afternoon All,

I have recently had new front tyres fitted to my 182 (Parada Spec 2's btw 0 I rate them!) and now my steering wheel is no longer in line and its very annoying!

Can this be solved by getting the alignment/tracking done? If so what specifically does it need? can you have all 4 wheels aligned on a clio?

Car seems fine (pulls pretty straight under acceleration and braking) this is just very annoying!

If anyone could recommend anywhere to have this done in the west midlands it would be appreciated!

Many thanks!

First of all,take a look at the tyres pressure!!

Most places do free alignment checks, do that first

As above really. Although just to add I bought my car with the steering wheel not straight, and I just assumed it was tracking.

However, after visiting several garages it turned out to be my rear axle bushes! Cost me £300 in total to get it diagnosed and fixed :-(

Yours sounds like tracking though if it's only been happening since the new tyres were fitted.
