Hammerhammer 1st Gear August 8, 2008 Share August 8, 2008 I got my ride for about 2 weeks mileage is 2000++ now. Yesterday I notice my steering wheel when car going straight it is a bit off to the right (about 2 degree like that) Then I check the tyre pressure all round but is ok. When I got it no problem steering is straight all the way till yesterday become like that. Never hit any bump or kerb. Why issit like that? Issit normal? Can I go and ask them check the alignment? Under warranty got cover 4 wheel alignment check? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawarides Neutral Newbie August 8, 2008 Share August 8, 2008 Bro go back to your agent and request them to perform a test drive with you and centralised your steering wheel if required. From your case should be very min adjustment only. BTW which agent for your ride? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singer Neutral Newbie August 8, 2008 Share August 8, 2008 bro, u collected ur fit oredi? congrat eh got check got english owner's manual anot? if got can lend me to xerox? Your prob; Mayb due to road condition. To accommodate water escape, most roads esp hiways are tilted to the left or right. This results your streering pulls to either way Try few more days at a few straight lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikia_rav Neutral Newbie August 8, 2008 Share August 8, 2008 Since its a new car just go tell them when u go back for your servicing. Unlikely its alignment since it is still going straight and only the steer wheel is off centre. My car at times also like that. Could be due to several reasons. One of whcih can be the steering rod is off. Just have to do an adjustment. And for number of months my car also like that. Yours is 2degees (wonder how you measure...), mine was rather obvious but I boh chup cos my car alignment still ok, tyres' wear were even. Then when it was time for tyre rotation, I swopped it around and the steering is back to normal. Hahahahaa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got it no problem steering is straight all the way till yesterday become like that. Never hit any bump or kerb. Why issit like that? Issit normal? Can I go and ask them check the alignment? Under warranty got cover 4 wheel alignment check? 2 deg is very slight, almost no diff actually. If you can see it, then its prolly more then that. Mine is tilted to left 20 deg, its annoying at first, but I did not bother and got used to it. Makes it feel as if I can U-turn (right) more by 20 deg . I will prolly fix it the next wheel change though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
