In March, I had a new set of Michelin One radial tires installed. I hadn't had an alignment in about 5 yrs, so I figured I'd get one. At the time (March) the steering wheel had been cocked to the right just a little bit, but it drove nice and straight on all road surfaces. The warranty of alignment will be up in a few months, so I took it back in yesterday to have the steering wheel so it would be flat on the horizon. When I drove it away, it was now cocked to the left, but drove straight with hands off. I took it back again today and the rechecked the numbers and said that it was well within specs. They couldn't do anything further to get the steering wheel flat. What's next? Just drive it as it is or get another opinion and pay another $50 at another alignment shop?
The steering rack is less than 5 yrs/100K miles old, recent new shocks, ball joints, wheel bearings, all bushings, etc.

Thanks for looking.
