Steering Wheel Alignment

[Mark911]

I have recently had a full geometry check and adjustment at an OPC and I have noticed that my steering wheel is now just a little to the right when driving straight ahead. As the dealer is quite a way off I was wondering if I could alter this myself by equal turns on each of the trackrods, or will I risk upsetting the tracking?

This is due to the lack of care by the OPC. When I had my alignment done at a kent OPC, the wheel was about 45 degrees round! Use Parr for that sort of thing now.

I would take it back, as 911's are tricky to set up (but not THAT difficult!)

and setting the steering straight is the easiest think... although if the actual alignment is fine, then if you know how you could do it yourself (?) as it is only the steering wheels that is off centre

It's an elementary mistake. I would arrange to drive over and have them rectify it while you wait. Be sure to eat as many biscuits as you can while waiting!
