Steering column slightly out of place.

Hi guys,

Since I have replaced new tyres on the front, I have noticed that my steering is not straight and when I drive it slighlty pulls towards the right.
So I have to drive in an awkard position. Should I get the tracking done?

Pics will be on tonite!!

It wasn't like that before, it happened as soon as they changed the tyres!!

Thats bad mate, who changed ur tyres? changing your tyres shouldnt make the steering wheel do that. im thinking maybe they jacked under one of the track rod arms - that said one wheel would be skew while the other would be ok - seems like they done something anyway mate...

Looks to me like they have done your tracking for you.........BADLY, the steering wheel should be centred and each track rod adjusted as required, i guess they just adjusted one side and now your steering wheel is out. DO NOT let them remove the steering wheel, get the tracking done by a better garage, audi do a 4 wheel alignment which would be a good although not cheap option.
