Steering off center after Stump pull

So I helped my son pull a small stump with the front of my 2016 f250 4x4 . But after that my steering was off center. Tracks fine no pulling. Used the tow hooks. Any idea. Did I do any damage.
thanks

P Scott.

You mean the steering wheel itself was off center? If it is, you should be able to re center it by loosening the collar on the drag link and turning it one way or the other in order to straighten the steering wheel. That being said, I'd be a little worried as to what caused the steering wheel to become off center. My steering wheel has gotten crooked before, but that was when I installed a leveling kit and was messing with the suspension.

Yes. That's what I mean. I did center it and everything seems fine. But something had to happen. Will have to take it to alignment shop.
but thanks.
