Alignment: Steering Wheel Slightly Right

I just had a alignment done on my 2005 G35 Coupe w/ 19" Rims.

I noticed that the wheel is around 2-3 degrees to the right when driving straight.
I even was the one who centered the wheel when I went in.
Anyone know what could be happening?

Sounds like either your toe is off or they didn't align your steering wheel. Basically, your toe is off...

I'd bring it back in and have them fix it... my guess is that they aligned your toe without straightening the steering wheel...

Wanna post the numbers from the alignment?

The alignment doesn't look bad overall... I don't have any specs here with me, but the alignment seems good... the numbers aren't too far off, and should fall within the tolerance...

They probably didn't straighten your steering wheel before they aligned the front toe... remember that you can slightly turn the steering wheel by turning the wheels...

I can't find the papers I have everything printed out on... but it still is a good idea to make sure everything is within spec tho...

Can anyone else chime in and help the man out?

Honestly, i think since they didnt use a brake pedal clamp, just the seat one, that it could have moved around
