lately my steering wheel has seemed to get worse and worse. driving down the road it looks like i am attempting to make a left turn, but im driving straight lol. Do I need to just pull the steering to realign it, or is there something else that needs to be aligned to correct the positioning of it? The alignment seems fine while driving, has a lil pull to the right of the road, like it should, so i dont think its an alignment issue...but as I dont know, is why i ask.

thanks!

i dont see how its getting worse unless your steering components are wearing/bending
to straighten the wheel you can adjust drag link...

well the jeep has close to 250k on it, and its never seen any kind of TLC until I purchased it about a year ago. Just seems to be getting worse, but then again could be my imagination.

If the wheels are straight, when looking at the steering wheel, it points to the 2 & 7 o'clock positions. So on the drag link - do i need to tighten it or expand it?

Never done this type of thing before. Thanks for the help!

your steering wheel doesn't just go off center for no reason.
inspect your steering components for bent or worn parts and replace them.
then get an alignment.

So if ur tires are straight, the steering wheel isn't?

maybe so, maybe not

nope, if the wheels are straight, the steering wheel looks as if im trying to make a left turn, slightly.

example, if the steering wheel was straight, and hands at the 10 and 2 clock positions, turn to the left tell they are like at the 8 and 12 clock positions and thats the position my steering wheel is at when the wheels are straight. when i drive down the road, its like that, going straight but looks as if im trying to turn left...so I guess im heading to a tire shop =(
