Hi Everyone, I recently replaced the tie rods on my 1984 Vanagon Westfalia and took it in for an alignment. When I checked the alignment before taking it in, I figured there was a 3/8" difference between the front and rear of the wheel measured from centre. The gentleman and the shop said it was about a 1/2", not a big issue. The question that I have is now that I have picked up the van, when drive in a straight line, I have the wheel slightly cocked to the left. Since I just had the alignment done, would this be an issue with the steering rack, or just the steering wheel, or something else? Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm on my way for my camping trip in about a 1/2 hour and want to make sure that this isn't going to be a problem. Thanks, Ryan |
