I had wheel alignment done on my car after replacing tie rod. Everything aligned perfectly within spec, the car tracks perfectly straight, no pulling in any direction, but in order to go straight the steering wheel is off by a degree or two to the right. The guy that was doing alignment had the steering wheel centered, even used some sort of a clamp to hold it on center.
Maybe he did the alignment wrong. When I do alignments I would do the "bounce test" after I get the alignment within spec... Most of the time it would throw off the spec that was "good" and I would have to re-do it cause I probably didn't tighten something.
Gonna see if I can take it back this week. I'm a perfectionist freak, and it aggravates the living hell out of me when the steering wheel is off center, I literally can't concentrate on anything else when driving.
