Steering alignment problem! - *RS-1* Plz Help!

[Christopher]

Hi,

I had my steering aligned in July after it was knocked out of alignment. Trouble is, is is slowly returning to its original mis-aligned position.

I don't want to spend another £30 + vat on alignment if it's only going to last a certain amount of time.:dapprove:

Will it help to replace track rods and bushes? Will this help secure the position it's set in?

Any ideas would be grateful, as it's driving me mad. (no pun intended)

Steering wheel is approximately 5 degrees off centre when car is travelling dead straight.

Many thanks in advance!

Chris

get the track rods checked when were they last replaced? , are you running the right ET wheels?

 

[Christopher]

running turinis.

car is a Mk1 172.

you think changing the track rods will solve it?

bttt!

jack the car up get a crowbar under the wheel to check for play in the rod ends you can get moog rod ends for £8 each so may as well change them your self then go and get it tracked up
