Does Z drive,perform & handle well w/normal tire wear?
I do my own alignment's & the first thing i would check is the TOE on front (inward or outward pointing of front wheels)
This can be done w/common tools & parked on level surface....if you're not mechanically inclined-take to a Professional.
If front toe is 0 or negative a bit (wheels straight ahead or pointing out) with a 13,19&22mm wrench/adjust drivers side tie rod outwards-to give you a tad of Positive Toe (wheels slightly inward on front) & this will bring your steering wheel back to the left.
AlwayZ ck. for loose,bent or worn parts & get a helper as needed to perform this task.
Only being a tad off,probably 1/4-1/2 turn should do it......if the toe is correct;then you can turn both sides equal amounts to center steering wheel/// Drivers side adjust out (pushes rear of tire out) and passengers side in (pulls back of tire inwards)
Always have a bit of Positive toe on front & rear (front of wheels inward) see spec sheet.
Negative Toe is Dangerous to drive on.
Test drive Z after each adjustment is made & re-check measurements.
Hope this isn't TMI....
PS, if you take it to a shop for alignment-be sure fuel tank is full & that they align the rear before moving to the front.
