Subject: LRO: Steering wheel centering
>While driving
back, I noticed my steering wheel is just slightly off center. I
seem to recall some folks here having a simple way to re-center
without a trip back to the shop.
IF (and it's a big if) the steering mechanism is at all similar in
philosophy to what's on a Series, you should be able to loosen
the ends of the steering rod, aka drag link (NOT the tie rod), and
rotate the rod until the steering wheel is where you want it.
Then retighen the rod ends. On a Series, the drag link is
in front of the tie rod and axle. As the Discovery is built on
the Range Rover chassis, I'm going to assume the steering
layout is similar to the Range Rover's. On that vehicle, the
drag link is actually BEHIND the front axle, I believe. But
the adjustment process should be basically the same.
