Well after smashing my driver side suspension components in a drift mishap I now have everything fixed(haha working on a 15 year old car sucks, taking those rusted seized bolts off was almost impossible). I put in a new control arm, outer tie rod and bushings. Now my steering wheel is off by about 40 degrees...will an alignment fix this problem, Im assuming it will..what excatly do they do when they do a front wheel alignment on a rear wheel drive car.

The steering wheel in my old mustang is crooked too.... but i was told that's cuz I put it on crooked when I re-assembled the steering column... :dunno: I guess that's why I don't do much work on my own... :D
