Steering Wheel Off Centre After New Clutch And Driveshaft

[Karlbug]

Hi everyone,

Just had a new dmf and driveshaft fitted and my once perfectly straight steering wheel is now off centre! Reading around this I suspect the reason is that the sub-frame was not aligned properly upon refitting using the correct pins. My question is, can I just get wheel alignment done and be happy or can the sub-frame be realigned? I also need to ask the garage if they used new bolts, stretch bolts can’t be reused can they? Are subframes slightly differently aligned on different vans? Will a slightly differently aligned subframe affect other components?

Cheers,

Just saw this on @Dellmassive thread that +/- 1.5 degrees steering wheel misalignment is allowed. Presume this is using the alignment pins?

When working on any aspect of the suspension it is advisable to check tracking . the slightest movement putting the car together will result in the steering wheel being off true .

Cheers, I'll get it checked.
