Suspension / steering wheel issue

[MCC-182]

Had drivers side ball joint replaced on sat which somehow resulted in the steering wheel being off centre towards the left. I had a laser alignement done today and now the steering wheel is off centre to the right!

Is this the result of them not setting it up properly?

Thanks

Yeap, need to get the wheels straight then take off the steering wheel and put that on straight.

^^As above take it to a specialist

'Take the steering wheel off"?!?!

i think the wheel's splined so that it can only be put on in the one position (relative to the column)

they'll not have been careful enough whilst tracking it up - just take it back if it's irritating

yep 3 bolts.

taking the wheel off sounds like a nightmare specially with the airbag being there!

Nope, disconnect battery for 30-45 mins undo two bolts on the back unplug and remove airbag undo main bolt pull it off.

What he said. I've got to re-centre mine again at some point. T50 torx bit needed to get the wheel off.
