    I have an Audi B4. How to keep the steering wheel straight. It's slightly to the left.

    Go to the workshop to set up the assembly. If it's not straight, then 90% that something has gone wrong with the geometry and will cut the tires. greetings

    when it is to the left, it pulls you while driving, or is it generally tilted? if it is simply tilted, unscrew the screws that attach it to the column and set it as it should be, but if it pulls you while driving, go to the service and let them check your convergence.

    A completely simple thing. This front part of the steering wheel (horn) you take out with a slight jerk and unhook the connector. You take the edge wrench, probably 24 and, holding the steering wheel, unscrew the nut. You take the steering wheel towards you and move it to make it good. Then tighten the nut 24 and press the connector and then the horn. And that's all...

    Does not pull and does not cut tires, adjust the steering wheel and see. Thanks

    Hello
    does the car have power steering?
    because if so, it's better not to move the steering wheel because it may happen that there are teeth with a variable module on the steering rack and then the steering system and thus the car will react nervously to the driver's movements
    I don't know if it's like that in Audis, but it's definitely like that in Fords
    so you better adjust the position of the steering wheel when adjusting the toe
    Greetings

    Well, not so light and not so jerky. Audi latches are delicate. When they fail, there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. :)

    if it is slightly to the left, it may be a problem with the adjustment, because a jump of 1 tooth may cause ... the steering wheel to be slightly to the right. rather, try to go to the meeting place and pokombinować there besides ... the most trivial thing ... check if you have the same air pressure in the tires!! trivial but not everyone remembers it

    Exactly, I had it that sometimes the splines cannot be moved, because the stroke is too large, in addition, if someone has an airbag and disconnects it later, the pillow indicator may be constantly on and you need to delete the error later.
    In my factory factory, the steering wheel was slightly to the left, but the service turned its nose that it was not such a significant defect and did nothing. So I went to my canal, I marked the position of the screw on the steering rod with paint and on one side I screwed the screw 1/4 turn to the right and the other to the left (there is probably a right and left thread and you have to look carefully so as not to change the geometry, but only move position).
    Anyway, now I have a good steering wheel and nothing pulls or cuts my tires. To be sure, you can go to check the geometry, I used a free inspection (normally PLN 30), because they had such a promotional campaign. :-)

    Only geometry, no shifting of the steering wheel by removing it. All you have to do is get the geometry right and everything will be back to normal. He doesn't always have to pull the car to the side or cut the tires when the geometry is wrong, the toe may be ok, but there are a few other parameters. If you have already cut your tires, check if on tire there are no promotions and buy a new one right away

    evolutionVIII is right there is something else like the caster angle, it can be caused by pulling the car and cutting rubber bands cheers to the mechanics

    I think wheel alignment is the best solution

Topic summary

The discussion centers on resolving a left-leaning steering wheel issue in an Audi B4. Users suggest various solutions, including visiting a workshop for alignment checks, adjusting the steering wheel position by loosening screws, and ensuring proper tire pressure. Some emphasize the importance of checking the vehicle's geometry, as misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear. Others mention the potential complications of power steering systems and the need for careful adjustments to avoid further issues. Overall, proper wheel alignment is highlighted as the most effective solution.
