    Hello group, newbie here and need some advice from the alignment experts. My wife rolled up and over a curb exiting a gas station. The right rear tire was the only tire that rolled up and over the curb. I started noticing the steering wheel was off center to the right when driving in a straight line the day after. It may have come from the factory this way and I never noticed but if I keep the wheel perfectly centered the Jeep will drift to the left. I've tried this on the highway as well as empty mall parking lot at various speeds just to be sure it wasn't the road crown causing the drift etc.
    I took it the dealer last Monday and the advisor told me it was just a simple adjustment due to it being "tied down on the transport truck" causing the wheel to be off center. I still think it is not quite right afterwards when I drove home. The wheel is centered better and it doesn't drift or pull but it almost feels as though the vehicle is "rotating" down the road. Weird. As someone who knows nothing about alignment, I sure would appreciate it if you alignment experts could take a look at this spec sheet they gave me afterwards to see if you can tell how bad it was out of alignment and if the curb hop may have been a factor or if these specs look right or not. This is a 2019 2wd Laredo.

    I appreciate your feedback!

    Roads are built with a lengthwise hump on the center, this helps with water drainage and cars correctly aligned should veer off to the right. Like if you fall asleep at the wheel or not paying attention while driving.
