My steering wheel isn’t straight; offset right by about 2 degrees. Nothing untoward on handling, just a slightly offset wheel and bloody irritating. Not had a major bumb. Not sure whether it coinsides with my last service (alignment check).
Can I change the rack track rod ends by equal amounts to straighten it or am I looking at a full alignment?

Re: Steering wheel not straight.
If you can see it I would rather suspect that the deflection offset is rather more than 2° ?
If you have an Atom it's incredibly sensitive to any tracking errors which causes the car to get very front end 'twitchy and darty' on uneven surfaces!
It's best to get the tracking done by an expert.

Re: Steering wheel not straight.
Just a thought but does the steering wheel seem offset when you are sat in the car and driving or just when out and looking at it?

Sorry didnt see this sooner - have been overseas racing!
yes you can adjust this with the track rod ends. just make sure to turn them equal amounts in and out, otherwise you will adjust the toe
