Steering wheel running from the center

Cristian_c · Feb 20, 2021

Greetings.

Why do you think my steering wheel ran away from their central position? I didn't change anything about the tires, I don't remember hitting anything under the car that could make such a big off-center. The car works OK, I did 200km today without any problems, keep the direction, turn, it fits well in the coils, .. it has nothing changed in behavior.

Can there be any adjustment to the steering box that has changed?

Thanks for help

Track rod ends? But its a lot, I would get it checked.

That is a huge amount off. Don't drive it until you've found the problem.

Check for rotted wishbones, I have seen them allow the wheel to run out by inches.
Check rack not free from car.
Check track rods and wishbone bushes.

No adjustment other than track rod ends, but I'd be finding out what is wrong!!!

Suppose the steering wheel is not loose and has slipped on the splined shaft???

I like that the picture was taken while driving!!

Of course it could also be a failure on the rear end causing the rear to steer and you are correcting it!!!

Maybe crack in rear subframe which is not unknown or maybe a broken spring. I've had springs break at the bottom coil a couple of times.

Indeed I was driving yesterday almost 200km. On highway as well as serpentines in the mountains There is nothing wrong except the steering wheel position.

My point was that if the rear is broken in any way making the rear end steer then you would need to turn the steering wheel to make the vehicle go straight on!!

There is adjustment for the rear tracking but look for anything broken.
