New Steering Rack - New Car!

Hey all,

If you've had a peak in the F20 problems thread, you're probably aware of the issue I've had with knocking from the front of the vehicle.

Good news - the new steering rack has fixed the knock and the car drives completely different. Literally feels like it's on rails now. Turns in very quick and those mid-corner bumps that used to throw it off it's path are completely absorbed. It's difficult to explain, and I wouldn't understand the details that led to the change of steering feel, but the difference is phenomenal.

Now I know why the handling of the F20 is globally celebrated!

One issue though; the steering is now off centre. Car travels straight but wheel is turned ever so slightly to the right. NOT a big issue but it drives me absolutely crazy. I'm in two minds about whether I should take it back to the dealer to fix the 'issue' as they've already performed an alignment and could be seen as a fastidious issue.

Throw it back to the dealer to fix or pay the small price at a good independent wheel/tyre centre?
