| Steering wheel 'off centre' - tracking problem? |
|
The steering wheel on my 2012 my D4 is slightly (noticeably) off centre. When I have it 'straight' the car veers to the left. The dealer has checked/adjusted the tracking 3 times now but the wheel is still not straight. I am considering taking it to a 4 wheel alignment centre that uses laser equipment - the dealer apparently does it 'manually'.
Any thoughts on this issue from other forum members? 2017 Discovery Sport HSE, Firenze Red

3 strikes and you're out. Take it straight to the professionals.

I thought the dealers were professionals!!  But I will be looking to get the alignment checked fully at the local alignment specialist. 2017 Discovery Sport HSE, Firenze Red

If you do go down that route, it may be helpful to post a request for advice on alignment specialists in the area you live.

OK guys, as Motolite suggests, can anyone recommend a 4 wheel alignment centre in the Nottingham area please? 2017 Discovery Sport HSE, Firenze Red

Just as an aside,my wheel was "off centre".....I then noticed my suspension was sitting lower,back left (17mm to be exact)....after the ride height ecu was recalibrated,my steering wheel is now true as its not having to compensate....just a thought,as its an easy thing to check before going to the expense of getting the suspension geometry looked at "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I stopped using the dealer for non-warranty work when the suggested solution to my off-centre steering wheel was to remove it and refit one spline different. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.
