steering wheel crooked
Had a front end alignment on my RX330 and the steering wheel sets off a few degrees. Took it back and still is off. BUGS ME! Is there an easy ajustment I can make to correct it without screwing up the toe-in?

Did they align the rear wheel also??? I would take it back and complain as you just paid to have it done right. If you used your credit card to pay for it back charge them.

yes there is a way to do it yourself without screwing up the TOE.
one of the garages i worked at had a really old alignment machine, it worked ok, but every so often you would have a crooked steering wheel,.
anyway, just adjust your toe the exact same on each side, if you make one side longer, make the otehr side smaller, you will only need to go a little, i am talking like one flat of a bolt little.
with that said, i would take it back to the shop and have them correct it, its there mistake, why should you play with it.
