How to straighten the steering wheel?
#1
My steering wheel used to be straight when I got the truck 5 years ago. Now the steering wheels needs to be turned about 15 degrees to the left in order to go straight. Is this indicative of a problem? Or how can I adjust it to be centered again? Steering seems fine otherwise, except for a minor leak at the pump. Thanks!

This could just be an alignment problem. Have you hit any curbs, potholes, etc.? Take it to a shop that will center the wheel and lock it in place then dhave them check the alignment.

Did you notice it before or after the alignment?
I just put my new tires on, new inner/outter tierods and alingment. Mine is turned left a good bit and pulls to the right
Gotta find time to take it back by there.

As long as you can let it go and it doesn't pull one way or the other, it's not THAT big of a deal. I wouldn't worry about it.
Be certain there is no cross wind or slope to the road surface when to check to see if it pulls.
But if you MUST straighten it, sounds like the tie rods need to be taken in a turn and a half on the right, and pushed out a turn and a half on the left. Whatever you do, do it equal and opposite.
