Steering Off Centre

Had 2 new front tyres fitted yesterday and have now noticed that when driving to remain in a straight driving position the steering wheel is slightly of centre to the left, anybody have any suggestions to the cause.

Thanks

Alignment checked and fine, incorrect pressures would appear to have been the cause

just to follow up on that...
On my 2010, steering seems slight off to the left.... tough it was due to the nature of the road but after a 2,000 miles round trip in France last week, it is always the case, despite driving on "both side" of the road... even more obvious on highway driving in France... if road turn to the right (slow highway turn...ie one u take at 90 mph), steering with be spot on the middle.... road going left, steering a good 1/4 to the left...

I have check the pressure several times and two realignment since easter but to no effect... one more thing for the dealer? Range Rover Vogue ‘17 TDV6

Isn't it the case that they need to centre the steering wheel and then correct the alignment? Idea

I had this issue for many months between about Mar 09 and Sept/Oct 09... The dealer and even land Rover kept claiming it was road camber. They eventually fixed it, but when they did they claimed there was no issue found! So I therefore have no idea what they did to correct the issue.

I would hope that the tech know what he was doing but will double check that!!!

After completing the four-wheel alignment, if the steering wheel is more than three degrees from the straight ahead position, remove the steering wheel and reposition on the nearest spline to the straight ahead position. Malaysia Boleh!

Noticed this on mine too today. Will check the pressures asap in case it is that. Strange I hadn't noticed it but before now I keep looking at it! WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award
