Steering Problem

Yesterday I checked the tyre pressures in the A8, 32 NS 36 OS (PSI) pumped up to the recommended for 265/40/20 38 front 35 rear (PSI).

Now the cars steering wheel is slightly biased to the right to keep the car straight. I believe the steering wheel should be straight with the wheels.

Looks like a dealer visit.

What possible garbage could they come up with regarding this.

ie. they are all like that sir.

Sounds like alignment is off.

How many miles/km? Any unusual tread wear, perhaps especially front inside edges?

Hi just done 500 miles in total so not run in yet, me thinks it needs a geo check, not to bothered as it's only a little, the car was used by Audi for around 110 miles.

Thanks all.

Tires being a little conical shaped make the steering wheel off. I have one set of brand new Conti DSW 06's that make the cars steering wheel off and pull. If I switch front tires from one side to the other the wheel goes the other way along with the pull.

I have DWS on two of my cars, S8 and SL, none of them make the cars "steering wheel off and pull".....there is also no specific tread wear on both of them.
