Loose steering wheel.......

Ever since I had a f'd up wheel alignment done the steering wheel has became loose......feels as though it's about to break off the steering column. Is there anyway it could be tightened??

You may have a damaged lock bolt or the steering gear may be damaged. Could be some costly repair work. Stick it to those fucks if you can.

I go to one tuner and that's it. Sometimes I have to dealerize, or get something from the Honda/Acura salvage, but ONE tuner is good. You gotta find someone you trust. The guy I know has worked for Firestone for 13 years. He is one of the best parts hangers I've ever met. I swear he could go to work on their Indy team with no problem.

here's the deal....the mehanic took my car to a gas station shop and had someone else did the alignment because he doesn't have the machine at his shop. I went back last weekend told the mechanic what the problem is and he said to talk to the guy who did the alignment.
The fuker who did the alignment got hostile and refuse to do any further diagnostic and claimed he's not liable for it. So I lost my cool and almost had a fist fight with him but end up getting the prick to test drive the car which he claims that the tires are bad and it's not his alignment.
I'm taking the car and have it checked out tomorrow by a friend who happens to be a mechanic even though his shop is about a hour drive to determine if it's the tires...if not I intend to go back to the shop with a nice long bat....period since I'm not getting my money back.
Who's more at fault, the mechanic or the prick at the gas station?
