After work intended to address a steering wheel that sits off-center after alignment, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record road surface and whether the car tracks straight with the wheel held lightly. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Return to the alignment shop with the before-and-after report; do not compensate by holding the wheel at an angle. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
