Morning, since I spent a few quid on new tyres a few weeks ago I thought I'd better get the tracking done so went yesterday and got it done. Driving home I noticed that straight ahead wasn't quite right - if I had the steering wheel straight the vehicle was slightly turning right.

What is the best way of correcting this? I don't really want to just adjust the steering wheel itself
cheers.

Take it back to the shop and have them realign it again. If the steering alignment is spot on then maybe your right front brake is dragging.

I wondered about the brakes but it was fine before. I'll give them a ring and ask.

They have agreed to do it again. Does anyone know the size of bolt used to lock the steering box centre? RAVE mentions it but doesn't say what to use. I want them to do it with the steering box locked in the centre and if the steering wheel is out after that then I know I need to adjust the steering wheel position.
