Hi,
I just bought a '99 Camry XLE and the steering wheel is off centre while driving straight. At first it didn't seem like much of a problem, but it's bugging me more and more evreytime I drive it. I'm taking it into a Toyota dealer Tuesday for a wheel alignment, but would like some info so I sound knowledgable at the dealers.
The actual symptoms are when the car is pointing straight, the steering wheel is 1/10 of a turn to the left. If I hold the wheel in that position the car drives straight and stops straight, it even drives pretty straight when I don't hold the wheel. I was thinking there was just an adjustment to adjust the steering wheel position. If I count the revolutions from dead centre, the steering whell can turn more times to the left than to the right, hence the centre is offset to the left.
Is a 4 wheel alignment necessarry/possible on this car? From what I've read on the net, many things can cause this problem. Is toe in the most common cause of this type of problem? Would a simple 2 wheel alignment be able to fix this problem, without all the extra cost of a 4 wheel alignment?
Thanks!
Norm
