So my steering wheel seemed to be slightly to the left when the wheels were straight, I searched the forums and on someone else's recommendation to someone else, I went to Bob Jane's to get them to align my wheels/steering ($59).
The mechanic there took a while and when he was 'finished' he came and told me the left rear wheel was bent at a slightly different angle. The only thing I can think of which could have caused it is accidentally scraping the curb on a parallel park, or hitting a big pothole or bump.
He didn't do anything to it in the end, and said he used to work for a suspension shop and gave me the contact details and said 'if I give you the details, would you go see this person etc?' It sounded a bit dodgy to me and he said it could cost $500-$1000 to fix (!!).
So $59 later, my steering wheel's still slightly off, and I need to find someone trustworthy to look at my car and tell me what's going on. And if he's at a sussy shop and can fix it, that's even better.
Anyone Brisbanites free to help or point me in the right direction? Thanks, very much appreciated.
