OK, that makes sense to tweak the wheel. You can do a rough alignment yourself if you need to. The front of the front tires should be 1/16 inch closer together than the back of the tires.

It's a bit of a PITA, because (1) the measurements must be taken 1/2 way up the tire, and

(2) each time you make a change in the tie rod end adjustment the front wheels must be off the ground and afterwared, car on ground, it must be rolled 5 or 6 feet forward and back to get the loading on the wheels correct.

But - all that will allow you to drive the car short distances and to see if the steerng wheel is far out from centered or not.

The shaft to which the steering wheel is bolted has a splined cone shaped end that fits into the wheel. The splines are very small, so teeny weeny adjustments are possible.

Good Luck,

Bob
