Vancouver,
went to do alignment on gf's car today. the guy did it, computer showed that all was according to spec etc. when went for a test drive, it didnt drift right or left but what i noticed was off was the fact that when the car goes straight the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right. i went back to the dude and he started saying that the reason it off is cuz the struts were not installed properly or whatever (had struts replaced a few months back, but not lowered). anyways, i dont really know if i can believe the guy because when i drove into his bay, the steering wheel was centered properly even tho alignment was tiny bit off. wanted to run this by you guys to see if i can make some sence of this.

oh and another reason im a little suspicious of his "diagnosis" is because i had to do an alignment on my car about 2 years ago and i went to the dealer (ya very smart of me :roll: ) to take care of that. they did the alignment and i got the same missalligned steering wheel problem after which i went back and they fixed it within 30 minutes. so ya, im confused.
 
Sack of shit. First thing you learn in alignments is steering wheel alignment, and it's done by turning each steering arm link the same amount. Failing that, you yank the wheel and put it back on straight. My god, The Collapse continues apace.
