    Suspension Issue

    ive recently installed coilovers onto my car and basically since then, ive had an issue with steering.... when i turn the steering wheel, it seems that i have a "empty" point, where when i turn the steering wheel, the tyres wont move until past a certain point... say for example, i was turning my steering wheel left, id have to turn the steering wheel past 30 degrees from the vertical centre before the tryes actually move with the steering wheel, and vice versa for the when i turn the steering wheel to the right hand side....im guessing it might be due to the tie rod end, which was damaged during coilover installation??? or otherwise it might be the fact that i kept rotating the shaft connected to the tie rod end and didnt rotate it back to its original position??? any help would be muchly appreciated!!

    ? someone dammaged your tie rod while installing the coilovers? thats not very good. perhaps you need to replace this component?
    also have you had an alignment done?

          another problem i face is that when i turn a hard left, the steering wheel settles to the left.. and when i turn to a hard right, the steering wheel settles to the right.... so basically the steering wheel now is never positioned in the vertical centre

            get a 28 point safety check done at Pedders - $14

            we cant diagnose your problem over the internet - it sounds quite bad too - so be careful driving - you might be in danger...

              Try your steering rack ends. With the car off wiggle the steering wheel from side to side if there is a clucking sound this could the problem but best to get it cheacked out it doesnt sound real safe
              EDIT: sounds really bad get a saftey check
