Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

go to a good alignment shop and have them "turn the tie rods" an equal amout on each side ......this will compensate the wheel...keep adjusting till right....
Leading evidence: 'Adjust till right' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust till right' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My steering wheel is off to the left by just a little bit when driving straight.
The car handles great (goes straight) does not pull to either side when I let go. Tire wear looks even/normal.
This is not anything like other front end alignment issues I've experienced.
So am I still looking at a simple front end alignment to take care of this?
I HATE when that happens. I am guessing when they did the alignment, someone didn't lock the wheel straight. Then, when they align the wheels, and connect the steering, the steering wheel winds up crooked.
Make sure you're on a level surface, LUD. I know that a lot of our hwys crested up in the middle and if you're living life in the fast lane (left), you're always driving on a not so level.
If it is actually off-kilter, it's a simple adjustment and you should not have to realign the car at all assuming your alignment guy got some skills.
This is usually the result of asymmetric toe in front, and if it wasn't caused by a recent botched alignment, the total toe is probably off as well. In either case, it will need a trip to the alignment shop to correct the problem.
But if the steering wheel has ever been removed for any reason, it might have been improperly replaced.
I appreciate all the info guys.
As far as I know the steering wheel has never been removed. So it sounds like a bad alignment, will take care of it when I find a good place to go.
You are correct about that railroad track effect on the highways, but this crooked wheel thing is all the time Ben.
Thank you
i had this happen recently...
go to a good alignment shop and have them "turn the tie rods" an equal amout on each side ......this will compensate the wheel...keep adjusting till right....
this will not throw the alignment off as long as the person marks the bolts and turns them exactly equal on each side..
good luck
