Just had an alignment done, but the steering wheel isnt perfectly aligned with the wheels. When i'm going down the highway, the car tracks perfect, but the steering wheel is turned slightly to the right. I dont feel like taking it back in, is that an easy adjustment to do myself? Any tips or write ups anybody knows about to where i dont have to mess with my alignment but can loosen the steering and straighten the wheel out and tighten it back down?

Is it only that road? Sometimes my car pulls or the wheel is crocked because the road is a cheap blacktop job. A nice cement road my car drives perfect without hands on the wheel.

If you want it corrected, you'll have to take it back in.

They need to set the steering wheel straight, and re-adjust the toe.

The steering wheel only bolts on one way. If you need to **** the wheel to go straight, then they messed up the alignment and need to adjust the tie rods slightly
