Steering Wheel Off Centre

EXPY EB, 2000, 5.4L

After a complete tie-rod separation earlier this year, and after many mechanics had a look and fixed various problems - I am now left with the position of my sterring wheel being off centre by a few inches. This may not seem like much, but from the point of driving the vehicle it can really put you off. If going straight - the actual wheel is turned to the right - a few inches off centre. The alignment is fine. The mechanic said that this is normal and that nothing could be done - any guidence would be gretaly appreicated.

It can be centered. I had an alignment done by the dealer onceon an old 2000 Expy. THe vehicle went in a straight line, but had a crooked steering wheel. Brought it back and they made it straight.

I currently have a crooked steering wheel on my 04, vehicle goes straight.

So my question is would I need to get the full alignment to straighten the steering wheel or do you think they can do it under warranty?

any alignment shop should be able to correct that. I have had that type of correction made a number of times.
