Align Front Wheels

Fig 1: Aligning Front Wheels

Courtesy of VOLVO CARS OF NORTH AMERICA.

Drive the car straight forwards or backwards on a level surface so that the wheels point straight ahead.

Carefully turn the steering wheel and check that it can be turned to full lock in each direction.

WARNING:

Do not drive the car further than necessary to align the front wheels. The steering wheel is not properly tightened and the steering wheel module has been removed.

If the steering wheel is not straight:

Start again from removing the steering wheel and aligning the wheels.

If the steering wheel will not turn to full lock:

Start again from removing the steering wheel. (The contact reel probably needs to be zeroed.)
