Steering rack replaced but slight issue

Post by Wattsm666 » Mon Dec 30, 2019 6:26 pm

Just had my steering rack replaced under warranty. But the steering wheel now appears to be off centre by a few degrees, which is annoying - is this feasible or is this something I am imagining?

Driven it again and think the tracking is out. Going to get Audi to recheck it

Its just sloppy work by the garage. They should have centered the steering wheel and then adjusted the tie rods accordingly. Get them to redo it and make sure its a full 4 wheel alignment
