Hi all

Is there a service out there that can do steering wheel alignment

I have done so many alignmnents from many workshops but the steering wheel does not return to centre, keep pointing slightly to left and make it looks like the wheel alignment is off,

Since then i began to think it is the steering wheel needs adjustment.

Antone know such service exist?

one time I changed 4 new tires, after alignment pull slightly left, steering feel also off... swap front tires left/right solved the problem...

Its a Proton. I never see myself selling the car, planning to use it as long as i can that is why i am very particular on thr suspension issues and want to solve all i can

cool. well...I'd try swapping the fronts tyres first...if problem still, next to investigate is the hydraulics steering...a leaky internal seal or clogging can cause imbalance in the system and pull your car one side or not return fully to center...

edit: I just saw you also change steering fluids... maybe problem is related
