Front end alignment on the "Bee"

Hey guy's, A couple months ago I put new and taller tires on my Bee, went from P235/60/15
all around to 225/70/15 in front and 235/70/15 in back which amount to 26.3 tall tire before to a 27.4 in front and 28.0 in back. I went to the alignment shop to get it aligned and here are the numbers he aligned to. Caster: +2.2 degs. left and +2.5 degs. right. Camber: -.2 degs. on left and -.5 degs. on right, toe is .11 degs. both sides with a total of .22 degs. toe which print shows in green on the toe. Now my only problem after him spending an hour and a half on it and he even letting me sit in the shop and watch him do this is when I took the down the road at 35 it was okay but when I got up on the highway that's when I notice he didn't get the steering wheel straight it is approx. 3 inches to the right car rives nice and straight but now this. I know I should call him and get it back in but it took me 2 weeks to get in. He owns performance alignment and they have cars all the time so I was thinking about making this small adjustment myself. Getting string and floor jacks and tying one end to each jack and use this from front to back with string touch wall of tires then adjusting each tie rod sleeve small amount in the direction as to turn tires back to the right a little, So which way to turn the sleeves from looking at it from the left side of the car should it be clockwise or counter clockwise? Thanks for hanging in and reading this long read! Dave

why not pull the steering wheel and do it that way? Or did I miss something? Quick and easy

Isn’t the steering wheel ‘keyed’? I thought there was a double spline to position the wheel.

I would take it back. Not sure if he’ll charge you or not but I would ask it be on the house since it was supposed to be straight when he did it the first time.

Manual or power steering? Flat road or crowned?

This is a pretty simple fix.
Loosen tie rod adjusters.
Move right side out a turn.
Left side in a turn.
The wheel should improve.
It's been a long time since I've done this can't remember how much one turn moves the wheel. But a couple iterations should get it right on.

They should have checked this?

I also thought the steering wheel was keyed, I haven't looked at one in so long I don't remember, It is a manual and the road was not crowned. It's sitting in my garage with the steering wheel turned straight and you can see the tires pointing to the left some. I will probably call them Monday and see if I can get it back in soon. Thanks, Dave

Yes, the steering wheel is keyed.
Yes, centering the steering wheel is part of a proper alignment and they owe you that.

With manual steering, even centered during alignment you may find it's elsewhere on the highway pending the pavement structure. Although with radials this shouldn't be a real issue... it is real for OE bias plies... trust me..

Thanks for all the help guy's!

Well, that was easy! I decided to go ahead and do it myself and all it took was about half hour to an hour. I put the steering wheel straight up and then I jacked up the front end and looked it over then I put yellow lines on the sleeves and tie rods for a starting point. Then I unloosened the nuts and turned it a quarter turn and I could see which way the tire was turning so I proceeded to go a half a turn on both sides to make the tires turn to the right a little. Tightened the nuts and off down the road I went for a test drive. All I have to say it is about as perfect straight up as you can get. Well I finally accomplished something. Thanks again! Dave
