Your front alignment is off
Nothing serious but you should see your mechanic and get it fixed
sounds like you need your wheel alignment checked out
your car could be out of alignment which can cause un-nesscesary wear on some car parts and pre-mature the outage of other parts or pre-mature the wear on your tires
tie rods may be wearing out. Alignment can help fix the problem once you get your joints fixed.
go get a front end allignment and they willstraighten it when they do this.
You need a wheel alignment that's all it's not serious serious but you should take care of it because it only gets worse then you'll be leaning to drive.
Assuming it was not caused by collision damage, it's not serious. Take it to the dealer or any reputable shop and ask them to realign the steering wheel. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. A good idependent shop will more likely to cut you a deal than a dealer, who will probably try to stick with a mandatory minimum of one hour of labor time at $90/hour for a 5 minute job.
It depends on they type of car you have and the type of steering design. It could haveb been caused by hitting a pothole or something. Since its the steering involved the safest thing would be to have a competent mechanic check it out. The hard part is finding an honest competent mechanic.
You need to have a mechanic check your wheel alignment. I had this happen to a vehicle after I had driven on some very pot hole filled roads. I did need to have my wheels and steering aligned. Good luck and have a good night!
Sounds like you need a front an alignment. Its not to serious you can take your car to any tire or repair shop with a rack and they can fix it
Two possibilities I can think of. Have you recently had your car realigned? Aligning the front wheels can change the angle of the steering wheel. The alignment shop should realign the steering wheel, as well. Second, your car may be SERIOUSLY out of alignment, which could be very dangerous.
The allignment of the front wheels is out.
did you get any work done on your front end? an alignment? either way its not a problem, just different then what your used to, you can pull the steering wheel and straighten it if it bugs you that much.
it just means your vehicle needs an alignment. not that serious if you get it fixed soon.
Did you recently get your front end aligned? If so, take it back to the shop; they messed up!
If not, you have probably run over a curb or some such and bent something in your front end. Take it to a suspension shop. Sometimes it can be corrected by adjusting it if the damage is minimal. If not, you're going to need some front-end work.
There are a couple of things that can cause this. The easiest to check is the pressure in the front tires. If one is low it can cause this and also throw off the front end alignment, so the steering wheel should wobble at various speeds. To fix it, just go to a service station and add air. The other problem might be wheel alignment. It acts the same way as a low tire. A wobble at specific speeds, and if you let do of the wheel while you are driving in a straight line, it will wander off to one side.
you need a front end alignment. Does your cr have a pull to either side? not serious, but annoying
You knocked the steering linkage out of alignment or bent something. Before you wear out tyres or tires you must put the car into a alignment shop or dealership. Have them give you an estimate of how much damage was done, those darn CURBS! they do jump out in front of you! Then decide do claim this on your collision insurance?
If the steering wheel was centered before you hit the curb and is now off centered after hitting the curb then damage has been done. To avoid scuffing the tire tread, the front alignment and suspension need to be checked. After the correction and repairs, the steering wheel should now be in the correct centered position.
all you have done is knock your tracking out, its not a big job or a dear job, i do these all day long and we charge £25 which is about average. if you dont get it sorted it will start scrubbing your tyres off on the edge so dont delay get to a tyre bay.
