VerifiedHello can you tell me what position the wheel is sitting in when the steering wheel is in the straight position, is is it jolting out at the top of the arch or by the bumper or at the rear of the front wing, also when you say rive axle do you mean drive shaft or hub and also the arm that you replaced was this the lower arm or the track control arm, if you could answer these it may make it easier to help thanks Chris
