How to center a steering wheel...

[Tihol Tiholov]

What John and Grant said.

The proper way to align toe and center the steering wheel is only via the
tie rods.  What I would do, since you have toe aligned, is put the steering
wheel on center and then lengthen one side and shorten the other via tie rod
adjusters.  If your steering wheel is too far left and you had to turn it
right to center it, the left tie rod should be shortened and the right
should be lengthened equal amounts.

Road tested seems ok. Very responsive, no play on steering.

DK the specs of your car, but toe-in might be too much.  Sure it is
responsive, BTDT on a '88 90 q, but it'll wear tires on the outside.
Neutral - zero toe would be the best, if you do it yourself.

Again, find specs for your car - missed what model it was.
Only my opinion here - I adjust my camber negative, max negative on cars
that allow small adjustment, BTDT on a Typ 89 and Typ 44 with no issues and
even tire wear.  2 deg. would be too much, if your car allows that much.
Neg. camber gives you stable cornering.

Someone correct me and/or offer specs.
