Alignment question please
I just had my C6 aligned but when driving straight the steering wheel is not straight. It is almost at the 1 O'Clock position. I always thought that when an alignment is done that the steering wheel position is readjusted to the 12 0'Clock position.

generally speaking, yes, it is adjusted. but sometimes, you have to ask for it. I'd say, bring it back and see what they say. I would hope they won't charge you for more service.

Steering wheel positioning is part of the toe adjustment in the alignment process. This being said, just cause the steering wheel is off center does not mean that that the alignment is off or incorrect however the alignment shop should address and adjust this for you to your satisfaction.

Simple fix!
Simple fix, turn both tie rod ends the same amount and direction and the steering wheel will center up and the toe-in is NOT affected. It will take them only a minute to do it, it the returning that is crappy. I have done this before on other cars BUT I could reach easily under them, not the Vette.
