Steering wheel not straight?

[Damo_Sport]

I dunno if this is normal, Or is just the camber of the road

But sometimes when the road is straight my steering wheel is turned to the left slightly. I have had it tracked and its all fine. Is there something else i should look at?

Whoops wrong section. can someone move it to faults and problems plzzz

 

[Budgie]

Could well be road camber.

Drive along a level car park and check it out..

 

[cliosportap]

it it from wrong road adjustment

Try it on a flat road.

 

[Damo_Sport]

yeah i thought it might be road camber, im popping out in a minute so il try it then

What if it still does it?

get the tracking done again free - should include steering wheel alignment in the service so they may have not done it properly.

sometimes they just dont put the wheel on straight in the 1st place

You can only put the steering wheel on in one position AFAIK because of the ESP steering wheel position sensor.

 

[Tom@JMS]

You don't adjust the steering wheel - the adjustment at the wheels can lead the steering wheel to be out of position when driving, they clamp the steering wheel and then adjust the wheels to suit.

^^^ The above happened when I took mine to Tweaks, got a refund and took it somewhere else. Now straight with no problems.

My car pulls to the right most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't. It's a bit odd.

as said, it'll just be the camber of the road pulling the n/s wheel, unless it's also noticeable on level ground

tracking's adjusted by releasing and then adjusting the track rods on the rack - it's obv. all connected so, unless they're very careful, it'll pull the steering wheel about as well. it's difficult to keep the steering wheel dead straight tbh - just take it back and ask them to have another go if it's annoying. some are more careful than others
