Alignment

theEZV · 10-19-2019, 09:05 PM

Had an alignment done Friday after KW V1s were installed a couple of weeks ago. Just noticed that my steering wheel is now a hair off center. This was not an issue before. Is it a simple tie-rod adjustment on these cars that can be done quickly?

The tech test drove the car after performing the alignment, hard to believe he would not have noticed it. This is a reputable "performance" shop too. Here is the print out of the specs for reference:

This is a common complaint. If the tech doesn't lock the wheel before doing the alignment it's easy to mess it up.

Take it back. That is their responsibility.
