Default My steering wheel is not centered...

When I'm driving and I try to center my logo on my steering wheelmy car veers to the left a tad. If I turn it slightly to the right where the logo is on an angle the car is fine. Does this mean my alignment is off? Does this have anything to do with alignment? Or is it just something Ford didn't give a crap about from the factory.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

good enough reason for an alignment. i was going to say warranty, as it is common for new cars, but your car has modded suspension, so that is what caused it. get an alignment, i bet your thrust angle is off.

Get your front end aligned and tell them to center your steering wheel.

Check your tire pressure. One low tire will turn your steering wheel.

I think the alignment warranty is 12 mos 12K...otherwise you'll have to pony up the dough...oh well, at least you're driving one of the last non-truck vehicles on the planet that only needs a two-wheel, four-sensor alignment (obviously no adjustment is possible on a solid rear axle) so if you do have to pay make sure you're not overcharged (most shops have a menu price for 2 wheel and a higher menu price for 4 wheel)...
