Um...yeah. Also keep in mind that the wheel will never be perfect. Our cars are pretty sensitive when it comes to uneven roads.

FYI, If the vehicle is less than 12 months old and has under 12,000 miles on it, Warranty will pay for an alignment...as long as there aren't signs you hit something.

Or crawl underneath and twist both tierods the same direction a quarter turn.

As to which direction , i can't tell you as you haven't said which way the wheel is cocked.

As long as you turn them both the same amount, your alignment won't change.

(A quarter turn is just an estimate, it may be more, it may be less)

Seeing that you have aftermarket suspention components, warranty will not cover an alighnment. Just get an alighnment and that will do the trick. My EP is all stock, and i alighned the damn thing 2 times before i finally got it to go straight. Thats how sensitive these EPs are.
