a very newbie question

Hi,
what do you call it when your steering wheel is straight center, but your car is actually going right.
When driving you actually need to turn the steering a bit to the left for the car to go straight...
is this called allignment problem?
will the dealer fix this issue?

well it depends if you did anything to the suspension like modding it then that would be the cause of your alignment problem then your warranty is void... but if its stock then mitsubishi will able to fix it...

it's called, your car pulls to the right, or your wheel is not centered. had to take my truck back in when i noticed that. they ended up sending it to an alignment shop.

yes the vehicle alignment is wrong, the car either is pulling to the right or steering wheel is offset to right. The dealer needs to make a simple adjustment to the tierods to re-center the wheel.

Before you take it to re-align, check your front tire pressure, if you have a leaky or uneven pressure on your tires it might off set your steering a bit as well.
