Column is straight..the dummy that did the last alignment didn't set the steering straight before doing the alignment.

THats more likely than the fact some other dummy had the wheel off and reinstalled it incorrectly...

There is a proper position to the shaft as it will effect the turn signal canceller if its not centered...
