    Roughly what sort of offset (degrees) are we talking about here guys? Remember that a normal wheel alignment won't correct this. You'd have to specifically ask for the steering wheel to be aligned. Sorry for stating the obvious lol. :)

    It would be very interesting to hear if the alternate mechanic gets it right first go though. It certainly would tend to confirm the "innate deficiency" hypothesis.

    Mine is about 5 degrees. Just enough to be annoying to me. I agree I would have to ask to center the steering wheel as well..
