Why are my wheels not straight?
When your steering wheel is not being straight, it is probably out of alignment, and its steering and suspension systems are not functioning at proper angles. This often results in uneven, rapid tread-wear, and you may need to replace your tires much earlier.
How do you realign your wheels?
Assuming that the steering wheel is already centered, adjust the tie-rods on each side the same amount. Roll the vehicle back and forth several feet a few times to transfer your adjustment to the tires, then re-measure the toe. Repeat this step until the toe is within spec.
How can I get my steering wheel straight?
Then, you’ll need to start the engine, turn the wheel a couple of times to relieve pressure from the power steering system. Shut the car down with the wheel locked in a straight-ahead, 12-o’clock position. Finally, adjust the front tie rods to get the wheels straight.
What’s the best way to keep a bicycle rim straight?

How do you adjust the front tire on a golf cart?
First, place a straight flat-edge on the ground and find out if a gap exists between the edge of your drivers side front tire and the straight-edge. If there is a gap, we will need to adjust the heim joints on the cart. The heim joints are the two joints in which the wheel assembly bolts to the steering assembly.
What should I do if my wheel is hard to turn?
If the nipples seem hard to turn or are creaky, put a drop of lubricant where the spoke exits the nipple and where the nipple exits the rim. Bladed or flat spokes can twist around as the nipple turns, which can damage the spokes and work against their aerodynamic properties.
