steering wheel location

Post by Faceplant »

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to re-centre the steering wheel? mine is ski-wiff.

Thanks
FP

Do you mean that the spokes are not aligned in the straight ahead position?
If so then remove the steering wheel, 3/4 whit socket, and move it around on the splines.

top tip for that is to have the car parked with the road wheels dead ahead, and the steering wheel at the 'ski-wiff' angle it always is. then when you take the wheel off, put it on as straight ahead as it'll go. That way you don't have to worry about how many splines you may have moved it. I've got a mountney wheel on my minor, and for all the fiddling i've never had it dead straight. annoyingly i can either get slightly to the left or slightly to the right! technically i think adjusting the tracking the same way both sides slightly could fix it!
