I bought a used Subaru Outback, the steering wheel was way off from the center. I followed your instructions on how straight it out, now it’s perfectly center. Thank you!
Man this helped me so much. I went for alignment on my Audi A7 which also has the rod in front of the rotors. Alignment done and steering was off and after 4 times, I was tired of going back. So I watched your video and now its bang on. My OCD would not let me be hahaha. Great video, thanks.
easy way to put it: steering wheel crooked to the right. driver side rod turn clockwise right, passenger turn counter clockwise to the left. And if the steering wheel is crooked left, do the exact opposite.
True except for one thing. If the tie rods are on the back of the wheel, you will turn them in opposite directions compared to tie rods that are located in front of the wheels ;)
I'll have to try this. I went to the shop to get an alignment. The car drives straight but the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right which bugs the hell out of my OCD ass.
This worked great. Marked up the original position and turned both a quarter of a turn. With that said, how tight do you tighten the tie rod locking bolt? Hand tight plus another tug?
if i let go the steering wheel and it will pull to the left , so to keep the car straight then i have to keep the steering wheel 10 degree on the right, then which side can i adjust
If the car pulls to a side like that you might just need a full alignment. My car never pulled left or right. It tracked perfectly straight, but with a crooked steering wheel
CS Here Dude OK Still Again About Plenty Of Modified Supra For Over 4 Years Since Back In Late 2019 You Owned A 2020 Toyota GR Supra Videos Since Back Then So I Really A Huge Fan Dude Alright and Yeah So.
Can’t alignment tech just hold the steering wheel straight after performing the alignment and let the machine tell them if any angles are still off? It is frustrating that after spending $150-$200 you are still left with an imperfection.
You can. But just depends on the shop and how well they line it up and if they will let you test drive the car to verify it's straight. For me, it didn't really bother me until months later when I did the new steering wheel and the stripe made it more obvious. So I just did it myself to not wast a trip to the shop
The very video you made this comment on is your answer ;) This video is literally showing how to adjust a crooked steering wheel without effecting your alignment
If the car was actually aligned, your aligner got the thrust angle wrong. Incorrect thrust angle will cause the nose to pull and a steering wheel that's crooked. They may have also flubbed your steer ahead, which is the trueness of the steering to 12:00 when the wheels are forward and the car is tracking straight. In short: they should be redoing your alignment to fix this.
To be honest it’s a hassle to go back to the shop. But if they do the alignment with the steering wheel slightly off. The alignment itself will be good. I have the print out and all the adjustments are correct. So this adjustment corrects the steering wheel without messing up the actual alignment. I can fix this myself in a fraction of the time it’d take to go back to a shop.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed But you're adjusting the tie rods, which is changing the toe. You may have corrected the straightness of the steering wheel, but now you have one wheel with increased toe out and one wheel with increased toe in. This may exacerbate tire wear.
@@thraxbert As shown in the video, as long as you rotate both tie rod ends in the opposite direction, and the same amount of rotation. You will not effect the toe. If you pull both wheels in the same direction a half of a turn. You won’t effect toe. Twisting the threads in the opposite direction will pull both wheels in the same direction to then not effect alignment.
@@kalemjackson2631 if you do both ends the exact same amount of a turn in the opposite direction. You have not messed up the alignment. If the driver wheel goes to the left 1 degree and the passanger wheel goes to the left 1 degree. The alignment was not effected. Only the steering wheel got changed.
Should the weight of the vehicle be on the front end when doing the Alignment adjustment. Shops have a rack to drive the car onto. The mechanic walks under the rack to adjust Alignment.
For this it doesn't matter. Alignment tips have a spot where the front wheels sit that lets then turn. So in your garage, lifting the front up would be ideal. Especially to gain access
I would think since the tie rods are what they turn to do the alignment, turning them again undoes the alignment. I would straighten the wheel at the steering column
Most steering wheels have a thick spot on the splines and can only be put on one way. Also that's a significantly harder adjustment to remove your steering wheel. I've done it on the Supra, but it only goes on one way. However when they do an alignment, the steering wheel can move a bit and get thrown off. So this adjustment lines up the steering wheel without messing up the alignment. I learned this form a professional race shop.
@@kotymccallister5150 Yeah because I make the adjustments identical but in the opposite direction. It’s only adjusts the steering wheel. The alignment doesn’t change
Just purchased a new car and came with the flat bottom steering wheel , looking into doing this but was wondering would it affect future alignments in any way?
hey man! awesome video, but i have problem, to understand how its done correct! i i have an polo gti 2018, with croocked steering wheel of to left, "my english is bad tho" but i went to the alighnment today, and get it fixed, but the wheel is still croocked out to left. ill go to them tomorow again, but if they can't fix it, i want to fix it my self, so do i need to turn the wheel to the left side ,and djust it ? man i hate this! ADHD kick in yo.
You won't need to touch your steering wheel. Making the adjustments to the tie rod ends will turn the steering wheel. Drive on a flat road and put your steering wheel to the center position. Are you then drifting right or left? If you are drifting to the right, that means you need to adjust your tie rods and angle your front wheels to the left a tad. That will adjust your steering wheel
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thx for replying man! When i drive, and have the steering wheel center, then it drift to the right. So i need to adjust both side right ? And turn the wheel a bit to the left side ?
@@atrcraze7988 you just need to adjust both tie rod ends and point the wheels to the left. Try 1/4 of a turn on each of them. Just make sure you are making each front week point in the same direction
A quick question, my steering wheel is off for maybe 1 degree, due to a new steering wheel. I do not have a professional car jack like you have, only the standard one which is in the car. I can reach the rods when I steer hard to the left or right, can I then also do this, or do the wheels have to be straightforward when adjusting the rods ? Or.. could I lift the car on 1 side, adjust the rod, and then lift the car on the other side and adjust the rod ? ( hope this question makes sense since Google translate helped me whilst typing this :-).
You could do one at a time. Just make use you do them the same amount of turns and in opposite directions. It's easy to forgot which way you went. So take your time since you can do them back to back with the whole front end lifted
Interesting, my pet peeve too -- QUESTION -- Are you sure that you should correct from the rods/wheels rather than from at the steering wheel? My gut tells me that the correction should be done from the steering wheel and that by messing with the tie-rod (I think that is what it is called) you have ever so slightly reduced the amount of wheel turn possible in that one direction ie you will not be able to turn fully to the left and will have introduced more possible turn to the right - just imagine if the steering wheel was off a full turn and then you adjusted the tie rod by the correspondingly large amount needed to correct for it - you would greatly reduce the turning performance of the car on one direction and over extended it on the other - this correction needs to be done from the steering wheel to truly get it perfect. Extremely small change but change for sure. Of course, I have no idea how they correct this at the steering wheel and it may be more complex.
You can't just make an adjustment to the steering wheel tho. We are only talking about maybe one turn of the tie rod. Shortening it like 2mm if anything. So thats won't affect your steering. I learned this from a performance shop who races their cars. They wouldn't do it if it caused anything less steering angle. The tie rod ends have adjustments like this for a reason. Weather you make the adjustments to fix the toe of the vehicles or adjust your steering wheel, you're still making adjustments on the tie rod ends.
No. 1/2 half turn would be a 180 degree turn. 1/4 turn would be a 90 degree turn. Do you not understand fractions and degrees? But these different turns made a difference. I just did this on our RS3 and 180 degree turned the wheel way too much. 90 degrees was perfect
So I got to figure out how to adjust my tie rod for my car. Took it to a shop to get it aligned and they didn’t do a good job on straightening the wheel. Need help figuring out how this adjustment for the wheel works. So when my wheel is straight it pulls to left. When the car is straight the steering wheel is slanted right side. So do I pull my right tie rod out and my left tie rod in ?
You need to aim both front wheels towards the right. Depending on if your tie rods are in front or behind of the axle, will determine which way they need to go. But pull the front of the tires towards the passenger side of the car
@@BrosFOURRSpeedhow? If you had your car toed in and then you move the tires out how is the toe the same afterwards…..even though you move both tires wouldn’t you be moving one tire toe in and the other tires toe out? That would result in a different toe reading of degrees
@@CLVannoytoe in on left side will cause the left tire to turn right. Toe out on right side will cause the right tire to turn right. Both tires turn right.
Then this is what you do. If your alignment is solid but the steering wheel is off, this is how to adjust the steering wheel without effecting alignment
It’s definitely confusing that you say “turn in the opposite direction”. it’s clockwise vs counter clock, but from your pov, you turned the tie rods in the same direction-away from you.
Basically you want to lengthen one tie rod and shorten the other. Pretty sure I did say that in the video. But each tie rod needs to be turned in the opposite direction to not effect alignment
yes but “direction” is relative to POV so I was confused by that having watch the adjustment on the Audi which only shows one side, not both like this one
@@microbrientube You really have to think twice about turning tie rods to not mess up. You turn the wrench in the same direction, one side it lenghtens tie rod and on the other side it shortens it. It makes sense when you think about it.
@@microbrientube I did my steering wheel straightening yesterday on e92, I had to think for a good 10 minutes not to mess up LOL. Yes, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but it turned out very well.
No, you'll want to have the alignment done first. That way the car is actually aligned. If the steering wheel is a bit off after that. The method I showed adjusts the steering wheel without effecting alignment. All shown in the video, you need to adjust both side in the opposite direction. That way you don't mess up the tow of the car.
@BrosFOURRSpeed brother as soon as u adjust the tie rods your tow will be in or out by a degree or two. if your steering wheel is off center either the track on your steering rack is misaligned or there was damage done or the steering wheel is off center because the computer thinks center is in the wrong position. u can have some one with a scan tool adjust the wheel without touching any of the suspension. older cars do not have this option. . Im telling you from experience and not just saying it
Yeah, but it's just a hassle going back to the shop. I'd rather just fix it myself and not worry about it. THe alignment is still good, just lots of shops don't get the steering wheel perfect
Yeah I did my own and it’s perfect, but I just wouldn’t let that shit slide. They need to know or they will keep doing shotty work. A phone call or yelp review is pretty easy. I mean you basically gave them $100 for nothing because you had to fix their work.
brother there's a way to straighten out the wheel to center with a snap on diagnostic tool it will tell the computer that this is center without touching the wheels

@@GiggleHub23 Then give this a try and see if you can fix it. But if after a professional alignment your cars is still eating tires. Could be bad wheel balance, worn wheel baring, bad tires in general, poor roads, or anything
@@BrosFOURRSpeed just Got 4 new tires 😕 if i drive at the Highway it just pull right a little but when i drive slow it pull a lot to the right 😅 i Think wheel baring or Maybe ball joint 🤔
2:48 you say the car is drifting to the right but clearly with the hands off the wheel it’s pointing and drifting to the left. So why are you turning the drivers side wheel more to the left??? This video is completed backwards
Holding the steering wheel straight, the car is drifting to the right. That means both wheels need to be angled to the left to correct the issue. Because then, holding the steering wheel straight, the car will go straight. Before the adjustment I have to hold the steering wheel to the left a bit to have the go straight. So that means the front wheels are pointing a bit to the right. So we need to turn the front wheels to the left.
I bought a used Subaru Outback, the steering wheel was way off from the center. I followed your instructions on how straight it out, now it’s perfectly center.

2:48 you say the car is drifting to the right but clearly with the hands off the wheel it’s pointing and drifting to the left. So why are you turning the drivers side wheel more to the left??? This video is completed backwards
Holding the steering wheel straight, the car is drifting to the right. That means both wheels need to be angled to the left to correct the issue. Because then, holding the steering wheel straight, the car will go straight. Before the adjustment I have to hold the steering wheel to the left a bit to have the go straight. So that means the front wheels are pointing a bit to the right. So we need to turn the front wheels to the left.
