Hi,

is this liable to be related? Just had the front torque strut bushes replaced and when driving today I felt that the steering wheel was sightly off centre to the left. Car not pulling left I just felt that the steering wheel was off centre to drive in a straight line. Does this sound like a possible tracking setup problem following bushes change? Main dealer work for the bushes, so may have to pay them a visit if my suspicions are correct!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
 
Was any form of alignment performed after the work? If yes was this a full Geometry or basic laser alignment. Was you given a printout of the final positions?
 
Hi, thanks for the response. I do not know what was carried out after the bushes change, as the car was collected,work done and dropped back to me. As I have only had the car a few weeks I cannot be sure the wheel wasn't off set before the work! However today was the first 1 hr'ish drive postthe torque strut bush change and I cetainly felt the wheel was slightly to the left to maintain straight. No pulling just noticable off cente. rear coil springs replace the previous week by same main dealer so I just assumed that after workng on the suspension it would have the tracking done or am being foolish
