Steering wheel not centered after alignment
Had my truck aligned today because it had a slight drift towards the centerline. Picked it up tonight after the shop had closed and the truck drives great but the wheel isn't centered as well as I like.
I'm going to call them in the morning and mention(I know they'll make it right)it but I was wondering if there is an easy way that I can center it myself without having to take time off from work again and make the 45 minute drive to the shop?
ETA. Truck is a 2019 F250 4wd.

It is any easy adjustment. This video will give you an idea what all is involved. Torque on all those fasteners is actually pretty low. Sub 40 lb ft if I'm not mistaken.

My wife had the day off and needed to run to town so I had her stop by the dealership and they readjusted the wheel to get it straight. I was going to do it myself but I figured I just as well make them get out right.
