My Steering wheel started out in the horizontal position... then it was 45 degrees to the right..
another 6 months and one day its back to normal...??
this has gone on for 5 years.... it was back to normal when I drove to the VW Nationals a few weeks ago..
but when returning... it had gone back to 45 degrees to the right....
next drive it was correct again.....
then I drove over a rough railway crossing today and the wheel was at 45 degrees again...
Back Home and jacked the beetle front end up...
I checked every thing I could get to etc...
then I found a mark where the steering box had moved approx 1mm.. it had rubbed the paint back to undercoat.
I put My 1/2 inch Ratchet spanner on the nuts and couldn't move them...
Placed an 8 inch piece of pipe over the end of the spanner and put My weight behind it..
and they moved... so, I have tightened them down again... hopefully, no more changes with My steering wheel.... lol
I will have to retorque the bolts to the correct tension later....
hopefully My worries will be over now...
