Steering / Alignment Question
I just got my 03 Coupe back from the dealership where they had to drop the cradle and steering rack to replace a failed oil pump. I have noticed what can probably best be described as a "on-center" steering/tracking issue.
Basically, if I turn the wheel right, the car immediately goes; turning the wheel left, I can feel some play (1/8" - 1/4" maybe) before the car turns. This is at highway speeds.
What could cause this - an alignment problem? Did they not get the wheel centered when they reinstalled the rack?
Here are the actual alignment specs my car left the dealership with after the repairs.
LF Camber: -0.14
LF Caster : 7.10
LF Toe : 0.02
RF Camber: -0.13
RF Caster : 7.28
RF Toe : 0.02
LR Camber: -0.09
LR Toe : -0.02
RR Camber: -0.08
RR Toe : -0.00
Thanks,
Jason
