Okay lads, had my tracking done at Kwik-Fit, for my sins lol.
They've set my Clio up to -1.
But now when I go along the wheel is at 10'oc, I took it back they redone it i watched and they did use a steering wheel lock.
They're thinking somethings bent on it, I have had a bit or work done in the name of replacing shocks and hubs, I'm wondering is it possible to just recenter the steering wheel?
As the car no longer pulls and travels in a straight line.
Only problem is the car has airbag and PAS how hard would it be to adjust it? |

Normally the steering wheel is mounted on splines and a big nut holds it on.
I don't know about taking the airbag off. |

There are many different positions as the splines are thin, if luck is on your side then there will be a position that makes the steering wheel straight.
Chances are though, that it will be off by a few degrees, but it will be near enough.
If you know how to take the airbag off then it is worth a go. I think to do this the fuse to the airbag needs to be taken out and left for 5 min. But I'm only guesing as I have never done it before. |

i recently changed my column and iirc the indents for the indicator cancelling are on the column itself, not the wheel, so if you realign the wheel then you might get tired of having to keep cancelling manually! |

RE airbag depends on the model, there are two types of airbag - mine (RT, 95 plate) has a self enclosed battery pack so you just undo the two screws securing the plastic cover and unplug the detonator connection, then the battery connection if you dont want to wear the battery down with the red warning LED flash. I think the other type relies on the main battery for power and so does need the battrery disconnected for 30 mins. The haynes explains all! |
