Shit, that amount is probably just camber in the road.
Apparently there’s no nice pictures of it on google. But roads are slanted outwards to help with water drainage.
If there’s nobody around and it’s safe try driving on the wrong side of the road for a second and see if it turns the other way.
It’s not this. I understand the road angles but I’ve driven on all sorts of roads, in the middle of the road, on roads that slope towards the median and the wheel is still angled to the left to drive straight.
The picture doesn’t accurately represent the angle that it’s off center. I wish it were just the road but it’s not. I’ve driven even on roads that clearly slope to the left a bit and it still is slightly off center to the left when driving straight.
I guess live with it this time and find another alignment shop
Yeah I’m gonna ask them if they reset the steering wheel angle sensor and then go from there taking it to another shop.
