Steering Wheel not straight

I noticed that when my front wheels are straight the steering wheel is about 30 degrees from being center. Im sure it is just an adjustment just not sure how to do it?? Looked on utube and all they show are pickup truck wheel adjustments.

Did you get an alignment yet? Ours was off a little and they straightened it out during the alignment procedure.

It is generally an alignment issue and the shop doing the alignment with lock the wheel straight and then adjust the toe in or toe out to ensure the wheels are straight as well. If you haven't had your coach aligned you need to load it as if travelling and take it to a shop for the alignment.

Exactly what happened to me Ford Emblem on wheel tilted right drove me crazy. Just like you said they locked steering straight, aligned and I drove home happy! I would mention it to them before they start.

Simple adjustment any alignment shop can easily correct.
