Must have been 15 consecutive visits, for various unrelated reasons, where the steering wheel was never straight. I was given all the excuses under the sun as to why, the main one being,"collective play across the steering mechanism" this was banded repeatedly so i insisted they show me this play.
Wheel baring was all they could find. Replaced. No different. I spent a good while checking and double checking for faults, but as the steering wheel had been offset for so long I sort of got used to it.
I then changed cars to my current one. Changed suspension, changed this and that, set up, sw still pissed. So asked them "Guys, wtf is going on with this steering wheel business...?"
They said bring it back, which I did, and miraculously they now had the facility to heat up rear track rods. Adjusted the rear toe to within limits, as this was always an excuse that the rear track rod was seized and couldn't be adjusted.
Track rod heated, adjusted, rear end was now set perfectly according to them, and so it proved on the read out. Ok, set the front. Drove away, and by now I know where to drive the car, when leaving wim, to check the steering is straight. Dadaaah. Perfectly straight steering.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm pleased they sorted it in the end, and they are still the premier set up company to recommend IME. But, for a company claiming such precision and quality, I am miffed they bullshited the fact that they didn't have oxy to heat track rods, and sent me off replacing and search for parts that might have play, when the fault was on a Differant axle altogether.
Not rather impressed. Tbh!
But the cars drives lovely now.
