got alignment should steering wheel be straight? had tiresplus do my alignment today and my steering wheel is slightly to the left. it feels much tighter and controlled but i always thought the steering wheel should be straight. they said my front passenger side was way off, im pretty sure that happened when i literaly got stuck on a 1ft curb and demolished 1 of my factory wheels. alignment came out like this:
left side before camber +0.19 caster +4.52 toe +0.19
left side after camber +0.16 caster +3.97 toe +0.06
right side before camber +0.09 caster +4.16 toe +0.04
right side after camber +0.09 caster +3.85 toe -0.04
i gave them the specs i had seen here on the board, and they said it would require alot of work, removing shocks ect. ect. they were busy as hell so ill get the performance alignment in a few weeks with the new shocks.

They can align it with the steering wheel "anywhere". So, it is not a problem, or not really. However, most shops will center the wheel when they do the alignment. So, it isn't wrong, it just could be better.
