Maruti 800 Steering Wheel Centering

[prajwalkashyap]

Hi all,

This is my first post (after the intro post). I have a 2003 m800 and I am having a problem with the centering of the steering wheel. It is offset to the left by a few centimeters. It is not a problem to drive at all, and was in that state when I bought it used about years ago. I am just irritated with it and want to get it rectified.

I spoke to a wheel alignment guy and he said that all m800's have this problem. I didn't think so, but I am not sure of that. I have posted a picture of this below and I really want help in centering it if possible.



Cheers!

Do you mean the angular centering?

The image is attached now.

The centering is "un"centered towards left like when the wheel is turned left for a left turn. The wheel is parallel to the dashboard and the column is perpendicular to the dashboard too, so that is not a problem, but this left-turned centering along the axis is getting me irritated to no end.

Re: M800 Steering Wheel Centering

This can be corrected by adjusting the Steering Tie-rods (the one used to adjust the Toe setting) Do check with other wheel alignment centre / mechanic
