alighnment, now wheel not straight?
 
so i got an alignment after my strano/koni upgrade and now my steering wheel is cocked slightly to the left. i'm not too happy about the alignment specs but i think some of that may be because of the lower ride height. what are your thoughts??

Left
Camber: -0.3
Caster: 5.8
Toe: -0.01

Right
Camber: -0.4
Caster: 5.7
Toe: 0.01

What i'm fine with: cross camber and cross caster are both 0.1 and total toe is 0.01.

In any case, how do i fix the steering wheel thing? should i just take it back and have them do it?

Before they did the alignment, they should have made sure your steering wheel was straight. how far was it cocked?

Take it back and make them fix the steering wheel position. A crooked steering wheel is definitely a sign of a bad alignment and should've been taken care of when they were doing the alignment.

do the rest of the specs look okay...my caster is a little nutty, will that be a problem? is that kind of camber going to wear my tires extra fast?
