Does a crooked steering wheel necessarily mean bad wheel alignment?
If the steering wheel is crooked, when driving straight, it means the toe adjustment is not correct, side to side. The problem could be either on the front or rear of the vehicle. If this is the case after having the wheel alignment set, it indicates poor workmanship or a lack of diagnostic ability. If the steering wheel moves to a crooked position on its own, something in the suspension has changed, which indicates a problem.
