Out of interest, does the IS250 toe in or out at the front, does anyone know.

Well after changing the wheels around and driving it for a while, it seems ok, so thanks tony, i know where to come in the future, and well worth the 160mile round trip.

Ok, sorry to be a pain in the backside tony. Is it best to get the tyres fitted with you first, then take it out and see if they make a diff. Changing the bridgestones around hasn't made a diff.

If it's the same after the tyres are changed Tony, is it worth me chancing it, by doing a 1/4 turn either side. Or, booking it in again, for the tyres and a re-adjustment. Im being fussy i know, but i hate an off centre steering wheel.

I'll get some 912's for the front i think, at least all the tyres will be the same, it is better though, so thanks again.

Thanks for today, car feels better now, but the steering wheel is still off a bit, although better than it was. i've just changed the front wheels over, so will see if that makes a diff, either way, i need to get the bridgestones replaced, too noisy.

I hate bridgestones, trouble is, they still have a load of tread left, so cant justify new ones yet.

out of interest, the noise i get that sounds like the wheel bearing, is that to do with the alignment or tyres?. I have jacked it up and spun the wheel, and it sounds ok, so not the wheel bearing.

Booked in for 12 o'clock, on the 15th, plus 2 falken ze912's, did a bit of research regarding tyres and they came out ok, for comfort anyway. Thanks for the help tony.

Thanks Tony, I thought i might get my point across better this way, im rubbish at explanations on the phone sometimes. I'm going to arrange a date to come along, and have the tyres fitted aswell. If the steering wheel can be sorted, i'll be over the moon. Looking forward to coming along.

Hello all, nice to be aboard, I'll get straight to the point, since i've had the car, the steering has been off centre, (which i realy hate), i had it checked local to me, and all was ok, except the steering wheel, so, and i know i should not of done it, i decided to adjust the rod ends, to bring the wheels round and get the steering wheel back to centre. Anyway, it felt wrong so i took it to a local tyre shop, who did the alignment, i told them i wanted the steering wheel centre, (of course sir, it will be) they said, as the 16 year old was adjusting it, i drove it away and the seering wheel was wrong again, i had a bit of a row with them and gave up, and tried my self, and messed it up again. The reason i tried myself, is i dont want to keep getting it done, driving round the block and bringing it back because the steering wheel is off centre, i almost bought a two wheel alignment gauge too, but thought better of it, the front tyres (bridgestone re050?), seem to be making a loud noise aswell, like a wheel bearing or something. Is this all something that you guys can rectify in one sitting, as it realy is spoiling what is a realy nice car.
