    So I got my new SPC UCAs installed today.

    truck was aligned at the same shop.

    shop is well know local shop that does everything from hot rods to off road.

    After the work I noticed the steering wheel is a couple degrees off tracking down then road.
    The alignment sheet shows everything good and in spec. Truck drives straight and brakes straight.
    It’s just when I am driving straight the steering wheel is a couple degrees off to the right, just slightly.

    any reason for concern?

    yeah it’s weird, it’s really only a couple degrees but it feels weird. My OCD was kicking in big time.

    It’s just weird to me that a UCA install could cause this. But I also know very little about alignments

    The alignment is probably fine, they just have to set the steering wheel indexed a little further to one side to make it even

    thank you so much.

    I didn’t know that they could easily fix this with another alignment and clock then steering wheel. Again, I know nothing about alignments

    Don't worry, Look at the front, it’s okay if the car heading is correct, the steering wheel is not important
