Hi folks,

I have a tiptronic Toyota Altezza so same setup as a IS200.

I fitted a new lower ball joint to the drivers side of my Tezz today and on the test drive noticed that the steering wheel is now on the turn when driving straight ahead, this will annoy the hell out of me as I like driving with my thumbs hovering over the down shift buttons.

Any ideas what I could have done and how I can put it right.

Kind regards
