I bought another 2.6 Elite in August; according to its history Vauxhall fitted a new steering idler earlier this year and did a 4 wheel on it. The steering wheel was atrocious - the spokes were about 11 / 5 o'clock and it pulled slightly to the n/s. Assuming it hadn't been played with since, doesn't say much for the VX garage who did it...👎 The n/s front tyre was excessively worn on the inside. I had a fresh 4 wheel done (not by VX); the rear toe on the n/s was out, which was adjusted after heat to free off the track control arm and the front toe was out (toeing out). The camber was ok. Dispite this, the steering wheel was still slightly out (10 /4 o'clock) and it still pulled to the left. Not happy, I went back and stayed whilst it was done again - I even asked to check the position of the steering wheel after it had been clamped. I watched whilst every adjustment was made, all now in the green, and I was even invited to do the final rotation of the steering wheel to ensure the arrows on the computer screen moved exactly to the right position. I can only presume a lot more care was taken after I complained and possibly because I stressed I wanted it 100%. It now drives nice and straight, no pulling, and the steering wheel is perfect👍. The equipment used was Hawk Eye. Just shows how important the correct alignment is on the Omega, and having someone who is prepared to put the effort in and more importantly knows how to use the equipment.....
