that a shop needs to put the car on the alignment machine anyway to straighten the steering wheel? i WISH i were a mechanic. 2 Honda dealers near me cannot get the steering wheel straight, ever. i don't understand how difficult it is to set the steering wheel straight and then let the alignment machine do its work.

i also don't appreciate it when they go for a test drive and tell me that the steering wheel is straight when it's 5 degrees off center, and they talk to me condescendingly. grr.

/end rant.

::sigh::

 

i blame the bush administration for you steering wheel issues...

take it to another shop. or have their tech ride with you in the car and show him he needs to put down the pipe

 

Centering the steering wheel requires adjustment of the tie rod ends and is best done on an alignment machine to make sure that your toe settings don't change. This should be a cake walk for any competent alignment technician.

 

 

Yep!
