    I'm not bothered with having to have it aligned. I'm just wondering about the numbers.

    Car was new with steering wheel very slightly off center (no pull to speak of). They ended up aligning it and everything was fine. Then I had them install the cat back and sways. We didn't think it would need alignment but a short time after that I noticed the steering wheel very slightly off center again so I took it in for alignment again. (I haven't crashed into anything or even hit a pot hole. My dime, $135, which I thought reasonable for a dealer). So I get it back and got a copy of the sheet... What's up with this? Good? Bad? This will help me with what kind of driving? Do I want to go back and have them do it again? Is it close enough? '06 Mag.
