Hi guys hope you might be able to throw some light on this!
Had a main dealer 105k service just before christmas, for steering bushes and belts - when delivered back steering wheel wasnt straight - ie was driving straight, but wheel was turned to the right. Front belt also fell off the next day - different story!
When it was sent back to have the belt refitted asked them to sort the steering wheel position but this wasn't done.
Since then when at higher speeds of 60-70mph the car seems all over the road, pulls left one second, then right - it a nightmare in the narrower lanes of the roadworks.
Any idead what could be causing it? Everything seems tight. Thought may have been something to do with suspension but its not dropping overnight or anything.
Any ideas appreciated!!

Assuming they've tightened everything as they should, then full wheel alignment will sort out the handling and steering wheel.  How To ? - Change your Brake Disks Pads Shoes Sensors August 2011 NEW V1.6a

Cheers Bodsy, they did the 4 wheel alignment on the service, then when i sent it back for the belt to be refitted and the steering wheel sorted they said they did it again just before christmas, but its exactly the same, so they reckon they've done it twice.
Shame as before it went for its service there all was fine!

they shoudl be able to align the steering wheel when doing the 4 wheel alignment. It's only if they're lazy and only bother adjusting one side & not both sides equally that the steering wheel gets mis-aligned ISTR How To ? - Change your Brake Disks Pads Shoes Sensors August 2011 NEW V1.6a
