Got an alignment but steering tilts to the right
Hey guys i recently got my brabus suspension installed and the shop did an alignment right after but when I was driving home after picking up my car I noticed the steering wheel tilts slightly to the right (off-centre steering position) even if i am driving straight. I recently purchased new tires too so it can't be attributed to the tires.
I have scanned my alignment specs. I have no idea what these numbers mean so can anyone tell me if my alignment specs are whats causing the steering to wander to the right or whether i need to replace or get a camber kit, new steering damper, tie rod assembly, etc?

Alignment was probablly done when your steering wheel was turned slightly to the right. Have the folks that did the alignment redo the alignment starting with the steering wheel being centered. The alignment procedure assumes the steering wheel is straight from the start. This should fix the current off-center position. In the old days you could pop the steering wheel off and move it a notch or two, one way or the other. Hope this helps.

I'm bringing my car back to the alignment shop on Monday to get the steering fixed (hopefully).
MarcusF yes the car is lowered on brabus suspension. Is that still too much camber?
