In the 6 years I've had my 75 the steering wheel has inclined slightly towards the right when driving straight ahead.I have never had any uneven tyre wear or tracking issues and just assumed that the steering wheel needs minor adjustment.

Back in the day that's what we used to do, but these days, as mentioned in previous posts, the steering wheel should be in a fixed position in relation to the splined shaft.

It would appear that I should get the steering checked out, I never worried about it because it doesn't obviously affect the handling of the car, and tyres have done 10k without any uneven wear.
