Centering steering wheel

If you change suspension, is it then needed to adjust toe-in/out and the horizontal wheel angel (camber?)?

Can ther, at this process, be any risk that the steering whell gets out of center adjustment?
(Meaning that when the car drives completely straight, the steering wheel seems to turn slightly to one side)

Is it, in that case, a new adjustment of toe-in/out and other wheel angels that cures this?

Or can this problem only occur when the steering-rack is taken of and put on again?

I appologize for my bad english.

Re: Centering steering wheel

I had this on my old Ford Fiesta. i took it to a rapid Fit Tire centre who adjusted the Tracking using a Laser Tracking system after first locking the steering wheel straight using what looked like a security lock under the peddles and hooked round the bottom of the steering wheel......

Re: Centering steering wheel

yes this happens when a lazy garage does your steering alignment as they only adjust one side.

to fix this problem you will need to get it fixed on a lazer alignment table.
