have just changed the front hub on my gsi as there was play where the ball joint pin connects.
everything was put back on correctly and now my steering wheel is slightly to the left when going straight.

thats like mine ee though the tracking sorted. try loosening the column at the bottom and turning it a little.
Or refitting your hub.

if you look under the ash etc theres something that looks like the gear linkage with a closing clamp - like a seat clamp off a bike. try undoing tjhis, turning your wheel a little and tightening it.
if it dont work put it back where it was so mark it up lol

have found out that the hub that was onit was for a 97-00 corsa which has a slight different arm where the track rod end fitts. (slightly shorter arm)
the one i have fitted is identical to the other side now so it needs to be re-tracked.
was really buggin me as i couldnt understand why the steering wheel was off centre.
sorted now tho
