I know that this is a question that has been trotted out many times but mine is different. Most of the time, the recommended solution is to take the car back to the shop and have them actually align the car, not just charge you for it. I just got new tires and had them align the car, I have the tolerance printout and everything of pre and post alignment. However, now my steering wheel is off center to the right I would say 1 to 2 degrees. Not enough to be substantial, but enough that it feels wrong to drive. Is there a solution to this where I could just reset the position of the wheel (without dismantling the column) or should I actually take the car back and ask them to fix it, and give me another alignment sheet to make sure the car is still in tolerance?

take it back.. My alignment tech uses a level on the steering wheel to make sure it's perfect.

When you say off center to the right I'm assuming you mean if you hold the steering flat and level the car starts to veer left. So you have to hold it a little to the right to go straight down the road.

You can swap front tires and see if the pull changes directions. Or take the tire in the front in the direction of pull and put that one tire in the rear. If the pull goes away you have (conicity) a radial pull.
