I had an alignment done after replacing all the tie rods and drag arm. The steering wheel is a little off center to the right. Can I fix this easily?

Most alignment shops don't drive the car after an alignment. And that's about the only good way to see if the steering wheel needs to be straightened. It's too easy to do yourself to bother waiting for the shop to do it. That'll take another hour by the time you drive it back there and wait on them. You can do it in 5 minutes.

What? I wouldn't take a car to a shop that wouldn't drive it after they were done to check the work. What kind if shops do you go to?

bleepinjeep has a youtube vid about this exact thing. personally I wouldn't have driven away from the shop with it like that. any respectable shop will square away the problem immediately if you come right back with an issue they had something to do with.
