Hey guys I've had 2 alignments done within the past year and both have yielded the same result, the car drives straight but the wheel is turned slightly to the right. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Steering wheel problem?

You need to make the shop has your steering wheel straight when they do the toe in. Take it back to them.

Well there could actually be a problem too, Check to see if the rubber joint is still intact, your wheel will feel kinda clumsy if this starts to break apart, #2 check the tie rods for play and stripped threads. and finally has your wheel been taken off before? If so they may have put it back on wrong. If all of that is ok, take it back to the shop and have them realign it with the wheel straight before they do the toe.
The steering wheel does feel kind of loose. When I initially begin to turn it, it takes a little bit for it to catch it feels like. I had X2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit installed just before the alignment. The alignment shop that did it a year ago explained that the steering wheel would not be straight due to something with the alignment. I figured it would go away after the installation of the balljoints and the BS kit. As for the wheel itself being taken off, it was fine before I lowered it and put C/C plates on it, then after the alignment it became "cockeyed".
Where is the rubber joing you mentioned? I've been planning on getting the FR500 steering wheel, can it be replaced then?
