Steering Wheel Alignment - Honda Prelude Forum

robdog1 · 08-11-2003, 06:59 AM

When i drive my lude, my steering wheel is turned to the right in order to keep the car straight. I just got new rims and tires and an alignment because my camber was really screwed up and i didn't wanna screw up the new tires. I figured that alignment would fix the steering wheel positioning but it didn't. I tihnk it might of gotten worse since the new wheels and tires.

How can i fix this?

my steering wheel is turned left while travelling straight... im installing camber kit next week and getting an alignment....

i planned on telling the guys who do the alignment to straighten out the wheel when they align it. i think its that easy?? maybe they didnt think about it, or bother since you didnt ask specifically?

It is real easy to fix with an alignment rack. The person that did your alignment just was not doing it properly. Either they install a lock on the steering wheel or have someone hold the wheel while they set the toe. Then it will drive straight. They took a short cut.

Just go back and ask them to do it right, please. You get farther with a smile than yelling. But if that doesn't work then raise bloodly hell.

Hmm.. it was some months since I got mine done but it was never straight .. nad its wierd because sometimes it'll be straight and it feels like i have to steer more a certain way in order to get the car to start gripping in the turn

and then my 4ws .. well **** dont get me started on that ... they couldnt get the lock pin in .. apparently due to rust .. 'nuff said.

but I paid full price for half assed wheel align?
