Thread: Front end alignment/ steering wheel position

Agree. It wasn't centred correctly. Surprising how annoying it is.

Take it back. If the wheel is not centred, the alignment has not been done correctly. This is provided that your control arms and bushes are all ok. Worn bushes affect alignment.

Nothing to do with TTM set or not set though, just the aligner's idea of what's best.

Correct, just the steering tie rods not adjusted right

I always found the “it is off centre to account for road camber” a cop out to not getting the steering perfectly centred.

A lot of multiple lane divided roads that we get around metropolitan areas camber to both the left and the right depending on which lane you are in.

The car will also fault if the steering wheel is to far off being central. I replaced my arms and it faulted on the way to wheel alignment.

Yes, mine did too. Its tied into the ABS module as well. I had the fault codes that HDC, ESC and ABS were not available.

ABS faults occur when the steering angle sensor direction of travel indication conflicts with direction indicated by the wheel speed sensors. The steering angle sensor is connected to the ABS ecu.
