My 02 Mounty has developed a slight issue with the steering wheel. When I put the wheels dead straight the steering wheel is off too say 1 oclock if it were a clock. Not a big deal just wondering if something may be about to go out. I checked everything on the front end that I could and didn't see anything loose or having too much slack as my Dad turned the wheel. Thanks for the help.

when you get an alignment they should re-center the wheel for you. They will also check for the obvious worn out stuff.
 






if the steering wheel is off enter, then its a TOE alignment angle thats out. take it to any goodyear or just tires location. they do free alignment checks. it wont cause any tire wear but i know to me. its irks me badly when its off center. lol
