Finished one job now need to do another

[Dblock]

Hi guys need you help AGAIN (seriously you guys have helped alot:star

So I finished of doing my abs rings today ( unbolt hub nut, undo ball joint, take driveshaft out and reverse)

So basically not my steering is off a little bit. I have to have my steering wheel about 10degree left to be going straight. Have I screwed something up or does this normally happen. How can I sort this out?

Thanks again

Well one of my springs is snapped and my car is coming up to 95k so I'm changing the springs and dampers so I will just get 4 wheel alignment done and get then to sort the problem out.

Is the steering out because of the ball joint or the driveshaft?

steering should be the same after, something not right there, did you torque the hub nuts?

No wasn't sure what to torque it to?

Also what should I torque the ball joint bolts to? Is it possible I put the ball joint on wrong? I only took off the 2 bolts and put them back though

Driftshaft hub nuts are 280nm off the top of my head, ball joints you can't really get wrong tbh. They're circa 100nm but I haven't got the manual in front of me to remind, FT would be fine anyway in the real world.

Cheers mate il have a search round. I'm gonna dismantle it and put back together. Should I move the steering wheel whilst doing it as I'm sure I moved it last time by accident?

have you put the steering arm back onto the hub from the right way? The thread should go up through the hole in the knuckle. If you've turned it the other way and done down through the hole, then you've changed the angle and effectively shortened the steering arm. Worth checking. Only thing you can get really wrong that i can think of
