Ok so when i bought the car (mind you i had it collected from the seller), i had to have the steering wheel corrected as it was in the left hand direction and pointing at 7pm.
anyways, ive noticed an issue but the local garage says the steering is fine but i suspect i dont have an issue.
so the steering wheel doesnt correspond with the wheels turning, ie you have a ton more turn on the steering wheel on the left side than what you do on the right, the turning circle for the car isnt great , but when you go around the simplest of bends like a corner of a roundabout and you only have a slight turn, the left side of the steering wheel will go from say straight across (9-3)and less than 20 ft later will be pointing at i think (gone from 9 ends up at 2).
you could move the steering wheel when the car is in motion or at stand still (say 9 to 11 distance) and the wheels will barely move.
now with my old toyota carina, when you steered with that thing you would know for sure when it was turning and it would give you confidence that when you have turned to a position that the wheels would turn to that position.
so question being, whats wrong with it...
