Steering wheel question?

I hit an unavoidable pothole last week . Since then I noticed that the steering wheel is slightly off center when I’m driving straight on the highway, maybe I never noticed before and it was like that or it’s due to the pothole. Can someone do me a big favor and look at their steering wheel the next time they’re driving on the highway to see if it’s straight?

I have an appointment at Park Ave Acura for Monday to check the wheel alignment. If someone can let me know before then it would save me a trip up there. Thanks.

You need 4-wheel alignment and maybe a 4-wheels balancing too!

Your steering wheel should be straight, like perfectly lined up...Unless, of course your car is out of alignment...Nothing major, just something that you have to do...May have not even been from the pothole, but it is likely that that's the scenario...Have it checked out, because I know that it is really annoying to me...Shyne

Check and make sure that your tires are not bubbled, and check your tire pressure make sure that it's not leaking.......

make sure your tires doesn't have unbalanced wear. If you spot that, then, it's more than just alignment. :P
