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.

I can't say what your car does or does not have in terms of adjustment.

Was it ever perfect? Do you know the entire vehicle history personally and has it been hit? I can the you several ways to determine crash history empirically. Never trust dealers or Carfax like reports.
