    Need Some Help in Dallas TX

    I need help figuring out how to correct the re-centering of my steering wheel when I turn.
    When I turn right the wheel does not re-center itself, Instead it stays at 1 o'clock. Likewise when I turn left it stays at 11 o'clock.

    Let me know if we can meet some time this week

    I am not local, maybe 5 hrs away, but the not re-centering is most likely an alignment issue. Usually, the caster of an alignment (the relation of the wheels in parallel with each other) affects what is called "steer ahead". Steer ahead is the natural ability of the front wheels to re-center themselves out of a turn, which is what it sounds like you have an issue with. Is the steering extremely tight? That may be an issue which something is binding. Have you recently hit a curb or pothole? Maybe something bent? Did you recently do suspension work?
