Nex 17 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 There are 3 small bolts that hold the balljoint to the arm, if you loosen these you are able to adjust, slightly the direction of your wheel, like really minor tracking l guess. When your friend changed the bearing if the wheel wasn’t straight when he did those 3 bolts back up this may cause your steering wheel to be off centre.This may also be able to cause some vibration if the wheels are fighting each other for grip perhaps but lm not sure :-/ I would also check your hub nut & wheel nuts are still tight just to be on the safe side lolSorry a bit long winded but hopefully it will help Link to post Share on other sites

HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 when your bearings were done your complete hub would have been removed. so as already said it could be the ball joint causing you to pull to one side. or the suspension arm to hub could be out! these two bolts have adjustment for your camber angle. Camber angle can cause the car to have a mind of its own.vibration ---- I would check the shell is mounted correctly otherwise could be wheel weights etc. Link to post Share on other sites
