Hello, I've been lurking here for a while, but now life is getting serious!

I'm considering buying a Fulvia coupe that's for sale locally. On a test drive,
there was little or no self-centering action on the steering, and also a slight
pull to the right. Looking at the front suspension, I couldn't immediately see
any way to adjust caster ... just wondering how this is done?

Thanks,

Peter

Follow-up on this old post ... I traced the stiff steering to a frozen ball joint on the steering center link. It's amazing the car steered at all! Anyway, new joints all round and the steering is light and smooth, with just the right amount of self-centering.

Oh, and I now realize, of course, that there is no way to adjust caster and camber on the Fulvia!
