04 2.0 steering wheel off line - willyb
Had front tyres replaced recently and now the steering wheel is off line. Any idea how this could have happened and how can it be fixed? Of all the things on cars this is the one I find most annoying.
Many thanks

Willy,
Changing just the tyres should not affect the position of the steering wheel. Did they adjust the tracking at the same time?

Take it back and tell them to do the job properly.

Sounds like a fast fit place has adjusted just one track rod end...

(wonder why I think that....)
