    Realigning Steering Wheel? Help?

    Hey guys, a few months ago my alternator died and because of my situation I NEEDED my car so I was forced to get it to a garage so that it could be repaired and I could actually get home. Well while he was in there I had they guy change out some belts and well ever since then when my steering wheel when it realigns its tilted slightly to the right. Well its driving me insane.:hitler:

    Is there a simple way of fixing this? I'm not sure how this even happens, I assume it has to do with the guy retightening the power steering pulley? I'd rather not drive down to have him fix it if I can do it in my drive way…

    Help me out? Thanks!

          Nothing done in the process of replacing the alternator or belts should have had any affect on the steering wheel. It being off center suggests the need for alignment of the front wheels.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              Yeah, thats what I thought, but the timing was awfully suspicious I guess.
