pulling to one side isnt usually tracking as the steering is self centring then they align themselves make sure that the rack is centred before you embark on any adjustments irrespective of steering wheel position the one side thing will be kingpin wheelbearing or bent arm |

Thanks for replies,i think i made this sound worse than what it is,the steering wheel is only slightly out,but enough to notice,it doesnt pull vigerously to one side but if you take your hands off the wheel it will go to the left after a while,dont think its far out

James, try driving it _ before_ fitting the clamp, makes it easy to find the position where the wheel is closest to central. Only on private land, of course...  ken Jameswallace wrote: My wheel isnt straight when i go straight When i put the shell back on ill try it on the next spline round |
