can some one give me some quick help on a non mini related topic, my daily runabout, a 96 escort for some reason the stearing wheel wasnt street, the tyres had worn on the inside, so just got the tracking done and some new tyres, the steering wheel is still not straight and its over the other side this time.... ?

thanks guys

Not sure if this helps, but I got some new tyres on my golf, got the wheels balanced and it pulled to the left. Took it back, they swapped the front side for side and all was ok again.

Tyre bloke said something about always try to put the same wheel back on each corner, but don't know if it has that much effect or he was pulling my leg :)

take it back to where you got the tracking done, and tell them todo it again, they should always make sure the steering wheel is straight before starting, but they don't always bother

Either take it back, or just remove the steering wheel and set it straight if you are confident they have tracked it correctly.

Probably but it is a simple job to undo the two screws that secure it in place and then alter the steering wheel as you would usually!

Bloody women......steering wheels not straight.....damn well get over it.....!!!!!

I get this if i run not enough toe-out. very very sharp turn in, and instibility at high speed as the steering is uber-sensitive. get it re-done.
