Default Steering and Gas

Hello,

I recently got the rack and pinion replaced on my car after a soft/tough turn issue. After the repair the steering is fine but the steering wheel is a little off ( I have to correct the wheel to right). When the car is in park the steering wheel and tires are aligned and straight... the correction occurs when I drive. The mechanic looked at it again and said it was straight but I still have the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions... is this a big deal?

Also, does anyone use gas other than premium in the S90? Have you had any difference in performance with using a different grade of gas?

Thank you in advance.

Did they align the car after the rack install?

Make them do it again to straighten the wheel.

Also on the gas try to use premium as much as you can. The 960/S90 are known to burn valves.
You should be fine switching every other tank.
