Hello all

My steering wheel is off centre, so when the wheels are pointing straight forward it looks like the steering wheel is turning left.

Whats the quickest way of straightening it out, and is it a fairly easy job that i could do myself?

Cheers folks

Just undo the nut in the centre and put the wheel on straight.

I think so, dya think its worth getting the tracking looked at first then straighten out the steering wheel?

yep, get the tracking done so ur 100% sure the wheel SW is at fault, then with the wheels perfectly straight, undo the SW and tighten it straight.

When you take it off leave tyhe nut/bolt done up a few turns and really yank teh wheel, it will come loose, you can then re position it
