Replacing steering wheel position sensor & alignment

Hello guys

I will have to replace my SWPS on my 2004 coupe

I was wondering, which one comes first, replacing the sensor then doing a wheel alignment or the other way around...

I noticed my steering wheel is tilting slightly to the left while my wheels are 100% straight...

Thanks

Hi 8VETTE7

That's interesting information, my car throws C1287 and C1288 under TCS

It came once to my mind that extreme wheel misalignment might be an issue for Active Handling, I guess I'll go with the alignment first ...

Thanks, and thats right

I did the alignement first, didnt fix the error codes but highly improved the car driving and handling

Awckwardly, i arrived home to find that the rear left end link is completetly missing, since then the car's rearend doesnt feel good while driving, i have a couple of moogs and will replace soon.

However it seems active handling in these cars is as important as TC
