Steering problem
Don't know if this goes to driveline or not so forgive me.
I have this weird problem and I want to know if any of you guys can figure it out. I steer the wheel one way, straighten the wheel out, and I get different effects from both sides.
I turn the wheel all the way to the left and it either goes straight or starts pulling towards the left but not by a lot.
I turn the wheel all the way to the right and it pulls to the right by a lot.
The wheel also doesn't seem like it's centered. Turning from lock-to-lock, the wheel steers more left then the right. Like, I steer to lock to the right and it's about 20-30 degrees extra after 360. I turn the wheel left and it's 50-60 degrees extra after 360!
I got it aligned recently but I don't know if they did it wrong or what. What do you guys think?

Are you talking about steering wheel returnability? That's a caster issue, which to my knowledge is not adjustable from the factory. And if that's not what you're talking about, make sure the aligment is equal on both sides. The "total" toe may be in spec, but that doesn't mean indivdual toe is in spec.
Say you have -1 degree (extreme) on one side and +1 degree on the other side, your total toe is 0 degree's. But you'll have one hell of a pull.
