Subject: Re: Steering wheel problem Saab 9-3 1998


Does the car center itself after turning? If you have to MANUALLY pull the wheel after a turn to straighten it out, something is either dangerous or at the least... bent. (same thing.) If you are saying that the alignment is OK and the steering wheel is offset when going straight.... The steering wheel can be removed & centered OR you might have to get your alignment re-done & TELL the guy your wheel isn't straight. (get the alignment done - it's easier for the average alignment guy) If it's like my 900 Turbo, the tie rod ends need to be exactly the same number of turns on each side or the steering wheel appears to be offset.
