I just got the KJ back, after leaving it for two days to get an alignment. They had aligned it before, but it was still pulling to the right. After keeping it for 3 days, they figured out that the alignment machine was 'off', and took it to an alignment specialist.

The good news is, it was all free gratis. The bad news is, the steering wheel is now crooked. Anyone know how I can re-align the steering wheel?

Take it back to them and have them do it. It's part of an alignment.

If anyone gave me back my vehicle after an alignment with a crooked steering wheel I'd slap the taste out of their mouths.....shoddy workmanship....take it back and tell them they didn't finish the job they started....and let them know you don't expect to be paying for the straightening of the wheel. :wink:

For some reason this happens a lot on the KJs. Mine USUALLY comes back a tad off after an alignment (and I've had it aligned at 4 different shops).

In order to center the wheel they'll have to loosen up the tie rod ends. Just take it back to them.
