Does trimming ride-height affect tracking?

[Oldmogman]

I’ve just rebuilt the front suspension with new rubbers, and trimmed the ride height (half-inch higher on left) but noticed the steering wheel is now turned very slightly to the right.

I'm now wondering if the adjustment in ride height has altered the tracking?

There is no mention in any of my manuals about checking the tracking after trimming the torsion bars. However, it seems logical that the steering arm on the trunnion is now in a lower position than previously, therefore pulling the track rod – indicated by the slight change in the position of the steering wheel.

Just need to check before splashing out on a tracking check!

Any work on the front suspension requires the tracking to be checked for conformity.
The mis-alignment of the steering wheel is a good indicator that the tracking requires checking and adjusting.

Thanks Phil - expert answer, as ever!

I thought that was the case but wanted to be sure!
