HELP - Steering wheel off center

[TheMikeh]

Hi guys,

Right got a bit of an issue here, my LCR's steering wheel is off center, in order to go 'straight' the red stripe sits above the fuel meter, probably about an inch to the right, if you let go of the steering wheel the car pulls to the left, even when rolling.

Its been to a VW specialist who done a complete tracking setup on the car and it shows as perfect but as soon as you drive it the car does it again, it appears to get 'worse' the faster you go (e.g. the faster you go the further to the right the steering wheel goes to keep straight).

Any ideas on this? it did have some suspension work done about 6 months ago on the front drivers side, could this be causing problems? So far ...

1. Changed tyres all round
2. Tracking/Camber etc all round
3. Changed both front wheels

Cheers
Mike

I would not say this is normal. The car does tend towards the left though - but not as much as you describe...
If you only had one side of the suspension done this could be the problem, with uneven wear rates of components.
