Default Alignment question

Had an alignment done today, and I noticed right away, after taking a quick right "turn" aka an onramp at a brisk pace, that after i straightened out, my steering wheel was crooked to the right. Then I took a sharp left, and same thing, steering wheel cocks to the left..... My guess they didn't tighten something down all the way... anybody know what? I dont want to drive it since I just had new tires put on, and I dont want anything to come loose/off.

If you're using camber bolts check those. Happened to me once. But back the stock ones and it didn't happen again.

Dude I'd be back at that alignment shop so fast they'd wonder if I'd gone back in time.

They seriously fucked something up.

Ya, take it back to the shop and have them try it out... Once they fix it, find a better shop that does mostly suspension and alignments.
