I’m I missing something here doesn’t the tech correct this problem by adjusting the tire rods to center the wheel after he does the alignment. or maybe I’m too old school.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon, @RoyBoy.

Yes that is when it is done and the alignment tech is supposed to start the rig, move the steering wheel between 10 and 2 and get the feel for the center of that spot at 12 o'clock and verify the steering wheel is straight and lock it in place with his alignment equipment and then adjust those tie rods. I have done literally hundreds of those over my years in the shop.


We, except for @Galante, :rolleyes:, recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.
