Hi,
If I let go of the steering wheel the car tends to drift to the left. Although noticeable under most conditions this is only a slight tendency but would be nice to correct. Does the steering box have any centering mechanism which has to be adjusted to the straight ahead of the wheels? Wheel alignment has allegedly just been done. I have checked tyre pressures. One tyre seems to have a little more wear, could this be the cause? I have tried eliminating the road camber by driving on the other side but this tends to be unpopular.
Looked but couldn't find anything on this specific point

thanks guys.
Yes collected car on Sunday & very happy so far.
Of course it's not new so there are bound to be little things requiring my time & cash... Will post a pic or 2 when I take some.
So to be clear the steering box has no centering bias at all? All the centering is done with the wheel alignment?
Presumably the rear axle needs to be checked too?
Where can I get balancing beads? Is there a recommended source?
cheers,
Martin.
