Default Steering and tires not aligned???

Hello all,

Not sure if anyone has come across this or knowledgeable in this issue but here goes.

My 2000 Accord V6 steering wheel is not properly aligned to the tires (ie, i have to keep the steering wheel about 10 degrees to the left to have the car driving straight).

Anyone have an idea on the cause and if this is something i can fix myself or should I bring this into the dealer.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

You need a wheel alignment.

Ok, so a wheel alignment should take care of this problem? Thanks a bunch!

Btw, on average how often should wheel alignment be done?

Normally, you should not have to do a wheel alignment often. Usually a good time to do it is when you get all new tires, have some front end work done on the car (like tie-rod ends, suspension work, etc.). It's not something that needs to be done on a "normal" interval.
