Default Stearing not straight after alignment.

Hotchkis was generous to offer a stage 1 kit for my 07Z for free. After install, they aligned it. Thing is, when going straight on the freeway, the steering wheel is not centered. It was not like that before I dropped it off. Should I call them to have them redo it or go somewhere else since it was a freebee?

That was real careless on their part, but a quick fix, Its a DIY deal but a little hard to explain. Take it back to them, Its a legitamate,minor complaint

As said above, no big deal. They should of marked the shaft and put back normal. Even when I did my header swap I was still one notch off on the steering. Easier for two people to do.

Well that --But I was thinking more that they needed to adjust the Rack and Pinion end rods after the alignment
