    Had my rack replaced for the Recall and they aligned it once replaced. How do these numbers look? My steering wheel is slightly turned to the right when tracking straight. Should I take it back and have them center the wheel?

    The steering wheel off center simply means they didn’t center the wheel when they aligned it. The numbers on the sheet don’t indicate steering wheel position. Take it back and make them fix it.

    Do the numbers look ok though? Everything looks like it’s within the specs but not sure if the numbers should be closer from side to side

    Update
    Took it back to the dealer and told them I wanted the steering wheel centered and the left caster .5 less than the right to compensate for road crown. I was expecting to be in and out within an hour. Didn’t happen though. 3 hours later they said it was perfect. I looked at the print out before I test drove it and they didn’t listen to me. The caster is still higher on the left. After a test drive the steering wheel is still off.
    I went back in and talked to the manager and explained the issue. They had a “master tech” come out and said he could correct everything but he would need to finish what he was doing. They offered me a loaner for the few hour they needed, but I had my son pick us up to run errands. Get the call that it’s done. Look over the print out and they still didn’t listen, however the steering wheel is centered and the truck tracks straight from what I can tell. They said that when they put the rack on last week the steering shaft was off one tooth. I said “doesn’t it have a spline or key way it lines up with” and he said not ok Tundras.
    I’ve wasted a lot of time on this and frustrated but it does drive straight and the wheel is centered. Will the current adjustment wear tires. If not, I may just let it go. Note the times on the sheets below. The 1:03 is the latest.
