    Yeah, any place that does alignments can sort that out. How long has it been like that and what and how hard did you hit to do it? That sort of thing doesn't move "unassisted".

    If you can't get it sorted in a hurry as a temp band-aid you could re-calibrate the steering angle sensor to account for the on-the-**** wheel although you'd need a decent diagnostic tool

    Don't muck around with recalibrating the steering sensor! The steering tie rods just need adjusting after the alignment has been done. Mine was out that much after I replaced front upperr and lower control arms. Drives like a pig until you get it realigned.

    Please don't drive it like that for long, you'll need new tyres if you do.

    As stated, it also mucks up the abs, esc and most other safety systems.

    Mate you are a bloody legend!! I got the wheel alignment done and the fault codes have disappeared too!

    Apparently the rear camber was very out, it had a reading of 18 and they normally see them about 3-5 so mine was well out I’m told.

    I really appreciated everyone’s time taken to respond and help me get a win. What a great community this is.

    Have a great week everyone.
