Narrative:
On approach to slc landing at 9000 ft approach control instructed us to fly heading 250 and intercept the 159 degree radial inbound to slc VOR. We did this and about 20 mi from the VOR approach control advised us that we were 5 mi to the right of course. Our VOR CDI (capts) was centered (339 degree inbound course) using 116.8 (slc VOR). From this point we took vectors. We had both cockpit VOR receivers checked on the ground in slc and both checked out ok.
