| Steering wheel alignment - slightly out |
|
Hi.
From new, a few months old, my D4 steering wheel always looks as though it is turning slightly to the right even when on only very slight cambered roads.
Only just a few degrees but most other cars I have had always looked cock on straight, this gets on my pip.
Is there a way that it can be trued, say at its first service? 2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey

I had similar on my MY15 (but drifting left). I found that the left front tyre was under presssure. Cured by more PSI. I'm not saying that's the same as your problem but it may be worth a shot.  Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Get it on a flat, straight surface and drive forward slowly until it is running absolutley straight and true. If the steering wheel is not straight take it to dealer under warranty. FFRR Westminster TDV8

I'd like to straighten up my steering wheel some time. It's slightly off centre, a few degrees to the right. The car seems to track ok and tyre wear seems even, so on a normal car I'd just wind one side of the track rod in a bit and the other out the same amount. What's the procedure on a disco chaps? I've got an IID tool if there's any resetting to do.
