Wonky steering
Discussion
Skoda Fabia
Steering verges to left
I took it to a well known and respected local garage and he did laser alignment - he told me something was off and he attempted to fix it. I asked him what he was doing just out of interest and he said something about adjusting the steering rod.
I took the car out yesterday on the motorway and it still veers -and if anything is doing it in a more direct way.
So it could be the alignment with the wheels (i.e. first job not done properly) - or what else could it be? Maybe the wheel alignment is just exacerbating another problem.

Do you have the before and after alignment printout?
Start with that. Most production cars don’t have much, if any, adjustability for things other than toe. If there is something that couldn’t be brought into spec then there could be bent components. I’d expect a competent alignment shop to be able to tell me this.
