Default MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT CORRECTED OR STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 96 ls 2dr with adjustable coilovers and yesterday i got my wheels rotated and today i noticed that my steering wheel is more to the left and its not straight, so when i let the steering wheel go its more to the left when the car goes straight. What happened?? Do I have to adjust my coilovers or do i need a wheel alignment or both???

did you get an alignment after you lowered it? willing to bet that's what you need now

Your tire wear is slightly different from the ones you had on the front. It's not really anything to worry about, it's just a nuisance. Your alignment hasn't changed from before.
Oh, like Graf asked, did you get it aligned? If not, you really should at least have it checked. A mod like that, although it may not seem major, is very different from what it came like from the factory.

i dont think so but after it was lowered like a year ago the steering wheel was straight, but yesterday i got my wheels rotated at discount tires and when they were jacking up the car they were twisting the car left and right using 3 jacks or so. So do i need a wheel alignment and then adjust em or just adjust em.

i know its not the tire wear cuz these are brand new tires in the front now...i know i did get a wheel alignment i just dont remember if it was before or after i got my car lowered. I thought wheel alignment was only necessary if the car went left or right when i was driving straight and the steering wheel is let go. My car is going straight when i let the steering wheel go but its just the steering wheel thats lot more to the left while driving straight.

today i just got a flat tire i dont know how, but it was the front new tire, could it be cuz off too much air in a tire which made it feel like i need a wheel alignment.

setting the suspension of a car takes alot of time. From reading what you wrote it sounds like you have no idea how adjusting the alignment and suspension affects the cars handling performance. Do youself a favor and get an alignment

First - Check your tire pressures. A lot of times the tire techs don't bother filling them to factory specs.
