I've never noticed it until now, however after a recent inspection, the beetle was marked as "not returning to centre" (67 K&L with VVD disc brake kit and a rebuilt steering box). Nothing old or worn was used in the front end
I've checked this while driving and it does return to centre albeit quite slowly (50-100m)..
What could be causing this?.. The car is running 205/17 on the front and 215/17 on the back (with 75mm spacers rear).. It had a complete alignment when the wheels were put on..
My thoughts?
Camber/Toe needs adjusting
Worm in steering box too tight
Track is wrong geometrically with the tyre/spacer combo
As it is a completely new front end assembly (by Boris at VVD) perhaps the whole setup is stiff and needs to be run in..
Thanks..
Rob
