Technical steering wheel problame

[super sprint sei]

Wheels are foward the stearing wheel is to the left abit how do i fix?

 

[Duncan]

Unbolt the steering wheel and move it round a bit then bolt back up.

i'd get the tracking looked at first though.

Drive the car in a straight line.

Stop.

Disconnect battery.

Remove air bag and steering wheel (don't completely take off the steering wheel nut before pulling on the wheel -- people have lost teeth that way! -- Some folk recommend wearing a crash helmet when removing the air bag, but it's sensible to open the windows, at least).

Put steering wheel back on straight.

And so on.

Recovering from the flu!

I'd try the steering wheel first -- after all, it won't cost you.

If the tracking is out, chances are you'll be scrubbing one tyre.

does it drive straight without steering input, and by that i mean when coasting, under load and when braking? If it doesn't get the tracking checked first, most tyre places offer free tracking check i find.

the steering wheel is only not going to be on wrong if someone has had it off, which generally speaking they haven't been. Unless its really far out adjusting the tracking to compensate is an option over removing the steering wheel - afteral you may find removing and turning it one spline doesn't result in it being bang on straight when the wheels are straight

Get well soon mate! Hot weather onits way sadly I have sold my little Sei part ex it for a Corsa c sri1.8 and it's that witch has the problame it seems to drive fine in no probs there but just needs wheel adjusted do you think it would more precise if a garage does it and no tyre wear where it shouldn't be

If you can find a good place, that'd be cool. The trick is to find somewhere that will centralise the rack, rather than just buggering about with the TREs (as many do). There used to be a little Porughese guy at the local tyre place here who was excellent, but there are a lot of dopes out there, too.

I'm sure there's a doppleganger for me on the Corsa forums -- I've only ever driven one once!

[super sprint sei]

Compaird* autocorrect lol

 

[super sprint sei]

And yes it's a 3dr I wouldn't buy anthing else

I normally centralise the rack before sending it in for tracking.

Just count the number of turns to each side then fit the steering wheel back on dead on. From memory is around 2.5 to 2.75 turns each side.
