Hmmm, I guess they did not do it when I told them the problem. The second time I had to bring the truck in for a different alignment issue, they told me they cannot do the front alignment because something was seized. and proceeded to ask me to replace the front tie rod ends in order to perform front end alignment. I declined and walked away as I think the truck still tracking straight and the tie rod ends show no wobbly.
Anyhow, bummer, cannot just pull the steering wheel out and set it straight.
