Well today I finally got my skunk2 full coilover installed in my EP
Everything is fine, but my steering is way off to the left like I say 1/3
Anyone had this problem?

 

make sure your settings are balance and get an alignment
everyone "should" get an alignment after a suspension upgrade
not sure if that's the really problem in your case but its something to think about

I also thought about the alignment. Well this skunk2 is my third setub, before it wasnt this bad it was off just lil bit.

 

if you havent pulled your steering wheel of at all then yes you need an alignment. Rule of thumb tho.. whenever you lower or raise your car you will need an alignment.

 

I was going to get alignment anytime soon, but will the alignment fix the problem?

 

The mechanic at the shop said he can pulled off the steering wheel and than put it straight
Did anyone had to do that?

 

No don't do that.. get your alignment done it will correct that issue.

 

Don't make this more complicated than what it is. Just go get an alignment.

was this a backyard mechanic? an allignment will fix this problem.

 

+1 (of many) -- get an alignment.

Here's some additional advice:

If you haven't done so in the past, go to a shop that warranties their alignment jobs. I've gotten several free alignments so far.

Or, you could learn to do it yourself. Google around for some DIYs and tips. That's really the way to go if you want to retune your setup between competition (which, I hope, is why you bought the suspension) and street driving.

 

if you dont get the alignment done right you will see your tires wearing out real quick.

what he said

 

Is it a tie rod issue?

 

yes, and they will adjust that on an allignment rack. its only like $75-100 depending on where you go

 

Get Tires Plus' 3 year alignment. $110. Set for 3 years. Done.

 

I'm locking so that you don't ask anymore dumb questions. Just go get an alignment already.
