Hunter I was wrong. Your suggestion was the proper starting place. I just assumed and that is usually a misteak. A real alignment may indicate now if any problems as well. Also he did not mention the pull to the right in first post. The spec printout of the last alignment may also give a clue. Thats if he got a sheet. That pull to the right sounds interesting. Also some of these steering systems are a mess on a few I have driven. Plus the chance of prior collision damage to components is also a possibility.
