[QUOTE="SkyPilot, post: 1756008, member: 42630"] Wrong answer to reset the steering wheel. There is a "tight spot" in the center of most steering racks and boxes where the clearances are tighter which helps prevent front end shimmy. In fact, when setting up a front end from scratch the very first step is to center the rack/steering box. Take it back and make them do it right-the mileage on tires and even gas will prove out over time!!!!! BTW just like the kid at the tire store that that marks the tire to the rim pulls off the tire to patch a small leak and puts it back together and says balance will be good don't let them just loosen the tie rod clamps spin one three turns one way and the other three turns the other way and call it good without checking it out. In other words make them check all three alignment adjustments, castor, camber and toe-in. This is particularly since they already admitted there was a problem with the machine being out of calibration. [/QUOTE]
