Steve--

A properly done alignment will have the steering wheel pointed straight when 
the rest of the car is going that way. However, a steering wheel that is 
askew (mine is as well) does not mean that anything is wrong with the wheels 
on the ground. Since your car tracks straight, my guess is that everything is 
fine underneath. Just have to put up with the unpleasantness of an off-center 
steering wheel.
