Alignment?

Does anyone else experience what I would call extreme sensitity in the steering wheel depending on the crown in the road????

ie, my steering wheel is never level when driving. When on the right side of the road my wheel is more to the left, and when on the left side of the road its almost level but tilted just slightly to the right... I have 17's, and I know wheels are aligned to compensate for thr crown in the road, but I've never experienced this before. I'm thinking on getting an alignment done, but??

Geee thanks professor for explaining how gravity works, i would have NEVER figured it out otherwise!


Should I be getting such a large offset in the wheel on the crown of the road with 17s... Or is it with most people just not that noticable?

have you ever had an alignment before? the reason i ask is they may not have tightened the wheel in a perfect straight line when it was on the rack so now its off a tad.
