Just took my 98 100 series Cruiser for a wheel alignment. While the wheel alignment is alright, they couldn't get the steering lock correct. Lock to lock is has 3.25 turns (according to manual should be 3.4). It has 2 turns to the left & 1.25 turns to the right and they couldn't set it up for 1.7 turns either way.
The tyres aren't scrubbing, the steering wheel is sitting a touch to the left when tracking straight ahead, nothing is bent, it seems to be drifting a little to the left. It hits the stops when turning a full lock to the left, but sits
well away from them on the opposite lock.
It won't go around some roundabouts to the right without climbing curbs that other cruisers get around no worries.
A second garage was also mystified. Would anyone out there know of a cause or cure for this problem?
Thanks
Peter
