crooked steering wheel?????

Does anyone know why when my car is driving in a straight line the steering wheel is turned slightly left?? the car is in proper alignment and all the suspension components are in good order. I find this to be very annoying, anyone know how to fix it??

take off the steering wheel with a puller, and see if you can straightn it, depends on how far its of. Mine is the same way.

Yep. Take it back to the shop and complain. If a tie-rod is on its way out, you should be able to see that as well... the relationship between the tie-rods determine the steering wheel position.
