Steering wheel angle

[Z4 - Kev]

When driving my Zed in a straight line the steering wheel points slightly to the right. It doesn't wander left or right. Tracking on the front wheels was done not long ago. The steering wheel was the same angle before I had the tracking done.
Car handles perfect. Just a bit off putting/annoying when the steering wheel spokes should be level when driving in a straight line, shouldn't they??
Can't believe a previous owner has taken the wheel off and replaced it at the wrong angle? How easy would that be to check?

Piccie..........





Any comments much appreciated.

I thought that the splines had a little notch, thereby making it impossible to put on the wrong position?

When they did your tracking they should have locked your wheel straight (as in correct angle) and then set the geometry.

It's not a particularly deep notch. It is possible to put the wheel on off-centre.

As CJ said ...this can be adjusted to the correct position by adjusting the tracking

Ok cheers. Exactly what I thought. I'll go back and have a "word". :x
