Re: Making sure steering wheel is straight before alignment

Yep.

That way you will know if the alignment shop did their job correctly. If the steering wheel comes back crooked, you'll know something is off. I've been through about 5 alignment shops locally for the past 20 years. The majority of them are knuckleheads that just go by what the machine says. They do not understand what the dynamics of the alignment does when driving a vehicle other than what the book says.
