Steering Wheel

[jaimo]

Never noticed until today the angle that steering wheel / column is at sort of angles out to centre of car anyone else noticed this

[Guest janis]

On my s7 there was bar under dash where rack bolts on..i lifted the bar to get a bit more space for legs and then noticed its out a bit..i put couple washers where bar bolts on passanger side and this give me better angle and made steering wheel straight..look under dash if yours is the same then u will understand what i meant..

The Exmo had a standard ford bearing where the column goes through the bulkhead. This is fixed and could require a bit of disasembly and welding to move. To say nothing of avoiding the servo, exhaust, alternator etc.

There is a steel crossbar bolted behind the dash that can be repostioned within reason to change the angle/height of the stearing wheel.

I found it imposible to get the wheel both straight and where I wanted it so have put up with a slight angle for the past 18 years and have not noticed it most of the time.

In the engine bay there is a shaft with UJs both ends.
