Technical Steering wheel problem

[CMAN]

Hi all,

I have just noticed that my steering wheel is not straight, it points slightly to the left, can anyone tell me how this would of happened and how i can fix it?

Thank you

Assuming nothing under the front end is bent (from a pothole or minor accident) it could just need a proper wheel alignment to bring the wheel back to centre

All you need to do is get a proper geometry alignment done, not the crappy alignment done at a tyre fitter, Im talking the bells and whistles alignment where you get a before and after print out of all the various suspension angles.

The usual reason a steering wheel does not point straight ahead when driving straight ahead on a flat road is the THRUST ANGLE. Having a thrust angle out of line with the car centre line causes you to steer of centre to correct it.

A good geometry alignment can correct this easily.
