steering wheel cocked after pitman arm install

ok guys i did quite a bit of work this weekend. new upgraded steering, pitman arm stabilizer defiant steering box brace and new ball joints. i am wondering if i get an alignment (which i am definitly doing) will they recenter my steering wheel? it is a little bit off. right now. Also on the same not i got new tires and was wondering if i should have them be installed before the alignment? thanks a lot

Yes when they do an alignment, they re-center the steering wheel-or at least they a re supposed to! I would have the new tires on also.

I used to do alignments and yes if they know what theyre doing they will recenter your steering wheel, also would be a good idea to install new wheels and tires beforehand, but not totally necessary. good luck

The local Les Schwabs didn't recenter my wheel when I got an alignment. I've been to lazy to do it myself.
