Question Alignment?

If at high speeds the wheel isnt perfectly (but close) straight on a flat road when the car is going straight would that be an alignment problem? If so, the only thing it may damage is the tires tread wear correct?
thanks,
-Bryan

Yes, alighnment issue.

Adjusting the steering wheel center is performed with a "toe" adjustment. Positive toe reading is when the tires are toe'd in the front. A negative reading is toe'd out. For steering stability there is generaly a small amount of toe in designed into the geometry of a factory specs.

Thats exactly what it is. I am going to have mine done today. Find a Firestone service center in your area and see if they are still offering the vehicle lifetime alignment deal for $99.95. You can't beat it. Most places charge $59.95 per alignment. Everytime I am due for an oil change, I get my oil changed, tires rotated, and front end aligned for $35. You can't beat it.
