Toph6888 · February 22nd, 2008, 10:20 PM

hey guys my cars alignment is just a touch off but its enough to piss me off...i was wondering how hard it was to set the steering wheel straight with the wheels again

If you guys could give me steps on how to do it or a link to how to do it i would appreciate it

Thanks for the help guys

go to a shop you need a toe tool and some other specialized stuff you dont have

Toph6888 · February 22nd, 2008, 10:35 PM

k thanks gf

GreenFaleen · February 22nd, 2008, 10:45 PM

yup no problem it should be more than 30-60 bucks depending on how bad it is

Toph6888 · February 22nd, 2008, 10:49 PM

lol well i would say that 30-60 bucks for a fraction of an inch difference between the steering wheel adn the front wheels may not be first on my list unless its something that is going to cause me problems in the future

if you want to reset your steering wheel its not that hard... straighten your wheels... take the steering column apart in the engine bay... might have to drop the dash and pull the wheel away from the firewall.. ... straighten the steering wheel... put everything back together... will take ya 6 hours in your driveway

WLJohnson05 · February 23rd, 2008, 04:47 AM

if u wait too long to get it done then ur tires will start wearing to the way it is now and then when u get it aligned the high spot on the tires will cut off first thing

Hourofpain · February 23rd, 2008, 01:13 PM

yeah +1 for taking it a shop
I payed 92 for a complete balance, alignment, and rotation
but hey alignments are expensive

the alignement it self was like 70

his wheels will still be off alignment his steering wheel will just be crooked when he gets them aligned again

i agreed with green just take your car to a good shop a have a total wheel alingment. and presto you will have your car done right they will set all the angles that are off and also will set the steering wheel.must of the alingment shops will give you warranty of 6 months at least some will also ofer more. remember every time you do anything to your suspension you need to have your alig.redone.also manufacture recomends you check alig. at least every 6 months. good luck
