Ever since I had the car in mid-July, I've noticed that the steering wheel is not completely straight when travelling in a straight line. It's only minor (the bottom spoke is slightly canted toward 7 o'clock as opposed to being dead on 6 o'clock) but it's beginning to irritate me now. Has anyone else got this 'problem' ?

Nope, a trip to the dealer is called for, unless of course its a RHD from europe which are set up like this fro the opposite right side of road camber (joke).

I had this problem on my last car. In that case it was due to the tracking of the front wheels being out. You may need to have your alignment checked out... in my experience the Thick Fit fitters and other big chains are pretty poor at sorting this out, I ended up being recommended to what looked like a dodgy back street garage but they did a perfect job! I have used them a few times since with good results. Try asking your local Honda dealer who they would recommend.

Yep.. front wheel tracking which you need to get sorted anyway because of uneven tyre wear. Whilst it's a fair distance from you Pete, Brindley Honda at Cannock have a new 'State of the art' tracking machine which is so accurate that other garages and dealers use it.

Went to an accurate 4 wheel alignment centre.

Had the Scooby up on the ramp and they dropped the calibrated measuring arm.

Asked them to take the car off the ramp and I drove off....

I know what it is Pete,.. you're one of those guys who'll leave his Biro there so you have to go back and get it!

Frenchie
