Hit a pothole going 40 mph, now the steering wheel has to be ever so slightly to the right to go in a straight line. Any ideas on where I can take it to get it sorted? Thanks.

I always recommend Cribb Tyres in Holton Heath.

Proper family run business. If they can't help, I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction.

Make sure they know you've whacked a pothole, it'd be worth giving the suspension arms a quick look to make sure they (or anything else) isn't bent.

Thanks, I had a quick look, no obvious damage from what I can see but I'll get them to check.

Popped into Cribb tyres, great service, really honest, I'll use them again. But the tracking is fine. They adjusted the tyre pressures, and it still is doing it frown

unless Cribbs are using something like a Hunter Alignment machine, I suspect it's still slightly out. The Hunter is similar to the KDS system that BMW use; I'd go over to Christchurch Tyres & let them have a look at it, it'll be pricier but worth the money.

True, I'll take it too them. It doesn't pull as such, just wanders.
