    Good to hear you worked it out on your own. I've had a similar alignment experience with my car recently.

    Took it to a Ford dealer because of the previous GOOD alignment experience I had. This time though, different alignment guy, and totally BAD alignment experience. (Couldn't get my steering wheel straight after three attempts and finally threw up his hands and said that was as good as "my car" could get... ...because it couldn't possibly be that he didn't know how to do a proper alignment).

    Anyway, I've heard varying opinions on moving a steering wheel a spline or two one way or the other to get it re-positioned correctly, and whether that messes up the clock-spring for your turns signals, etc, but I can honestly say I've never had any later problems after I've re-splined my steering wheel to get it recentered using steering wheel pullers.

    I've had no negative effects since moving it. Just smiling a lot more at being able to hold it like a proper steering wheel again!
