• Any so equipped - Clutch Cable Correction 28 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  Never looked at my clutch cable properly. Though I'd vaguely noted that it seemed a bit out of alignment, it seemed to be working OK and never got to the top of my "do list". Ooer. Not much free play (which has probably accelerated clutch wear) and the mis-alignment has resulted in it sawing through the side of the (pot-metal?)
• Help needed - Fiesta Wheel Alignment 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I noticed that the front nearside was wearing a bit too heavily around the outside edge so I had the alignment checked at ATS who said it was 2 degrees out. One wheel was reading 5 and the other 7. They fixed this and the car was driving fine, but now the steering wheel was off-centre, I had to turn it to the left slightly to make the car go straight, when it was on-centre the car went to the right.

• Ford Focus st line 1.5 - Pothole damage 7 Jan 2025 (Forum)
  Just to be sure I  took it to my local tyre dealer. He concurred that the tyres were okay BUT said the rear axle was out of alignment and recommended taking it to a Ford dealer. Local Ford dealer referred me to a 4 wheel alignment garage and car booked in for Monday morning.  Sounds like it is going to be an expensive repair.
• 2008 VW Polo (9n) - Steering Not Returning to Centre 12 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  It's more noticeable when going slow (like in a car park) and not so much on the open road. I'm having 4 new tyres and wheel alignment later today. Is it likely to be the alignment considering what work has just been done? The tracking feels fine...doesn't pull etc. although in a straight line the steering wheel is more off centre now than it was...but drives in a straight line fine with minimal correction.
