Steering wheel not straight when driving straight

Hello!

When I drive my Golf straight, the steering wheel is slightly tilted.

When I center the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary and check the steering angle using the diagnostic system, it displays a value of 0°.

He has been calibrated, and everything is working perfectly.


What is the reason for that?

The tires wear evenly, there's no pulling to either side, the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) functions normally, etc.

Simply install the steering wheel in a way that it remains straight when driving straight, and either ignore the ESP steering angle or recalibrate it.


Sure, here's the translation:

"Thx."
Michael.


Edit: This is how I've been driving my Golf for 40,000 km...

During the alignment, the steering wheel was not in a straight position, or there were measurement errors, possibly because the mandatory rim runout compensation was not performed.

I would make the adjustment to the tie rods because that's the least problematic. Furthermore, this ensures that the steering gear and the steering angle sensor remain in their neutral position.

To adjust the tie rods and ball joints, first mark them precisely relative to each other using a small punch. Then, twist both tie rods accordingly (one clockwise and the other counterclockwise), alternating and testing, until the alignment is correct. I would start with a 20-degree twist. It is important that both tie rods are adjusted by the exact same amount.

Okay, then I'll do it that way.


However, I don't believe the steering wheel was misaligned during the measurements, as the vehicle was measured twice. Once shortly after the purchase, and then 20,000 km later during the installation of the suspension, each time by a different workshop.


Have a nice weekend .

Why wasn't it positioned vertically? Probably because the measured values were still within the acceptable tolerances. That being said, sometimes this also happens even with the most careful measurements.
