another one for @yoeddynz @vivaspeed and anyone who knows about Vivas or suspension geometry. 

a query raised at the wof was about the steering not returning to center, they thought it may be cause of the stiff spot in one area of the steering, but ive sorted that and its still no better. not really surprised as it wasn't really that stiff. 

at any speeds, low or high the steering wheel doesn't really return to center. now my limited knowledge on suspension geometry is that castor angle is what causes this effect. and castor angle looks to be really close to 0 deg on this car. 

there looks to be some form of caster angle adjustment where the viva subframe connects to the chassis, but it appears the upper mounts wont allow any angle change at all without stressing the whole lot. i could bend or remake the upper mounts but thought id better ask here what would be the way castor angle is adjusted on a viva? it looks like i could push the lower arm forward some with the trailing arms but that doesn't seem correct either.
