Hi again. I took the car back to the dealer to re-align and the wheel is still turned to the left a little when driving straight. The tech showed me the numbers and that they leveled the steering wheel.

Is something wrong with my suspension, or should I try alignment somewhere else? Just live with it?

EDIT: when I let the wheel go and I’m going straight on a stretch of road the wheel is off center by about 10 degrees.

EDIT EDIT: called the dealership and they said alignment doesn’t include resetting wheel sensor via obd tool. Crazy.

The picture doesn’t accurately represent the angle that it’s off center. I wish it were just the road but it’s not. I’ve driven even on roads that clearly slope to the left a bit and it still is slightly off center to the left when driving straight.

I guess live with it this time and find another alignment shop
