Default steering wheel not straight

the other night I was driving to dinner, took a turn a little hard (not too bad though) than when I went to straighten out my wheel isn't straight when the car is driving straight. I have no alignment issues, car will drive straight down the road for miles without touching the wheel but the actual wheel in the car isn't straight. Any ideas? I went looking for the prob the other night and found a broke rear motor mount so I am replacing it today... u think it will fix my steering wheel issue, I kinda think not?? Thoughts? Can a rack and pinion just jump teeth like that?? Help...

No a motor mount wont affect steering. I would bring it to an alignment shop and let them take a look at it.

okay cool Ill do that... can it be just an adjustment of the steering column into the rack? I have just never heard of a rack jumping teeth like that...
