Adjustment of steering wheel angle

Recently completed a four-wheel alignment, and the specifications indicate that everything is satisfactory.


Is a steering adaption necessary for the vehicle's electronics to acknowledge the altered steering angle?

The steering wheel remains slightly misaligned.

Thank you very much

The inner tie rods possess an adjustable mechanism to guarantee that the steering wheel is centred. If misaligned, the steering wheel will be off-center. The probable culprit is that one of the rods is somewhat bent, rendering it slightly 'shorter'.This can be rectified through adjustment, namely by gently shortening the opposing side as well. The outcome will be a centralised steering wheel with a little tighter turning radius on one side than the other. The tie rod requires replacement alone if it is visibly bent; a slight bend is OK and can be adjusted as previously mentioned.

During the completion of my C55, I brought my scantool, and the steering wheel remained immobilised while the tool indicated a zero-degree position. Somewhat excessive, although it achieved the desired outcome.

Were any adjustments made to the rear? Are there modifications accessible at the rear of a 205?
