Anyone else besides me notice that ebay.com has gotten unbearably slow and resource hungry lately?
I can barely use the site anymore as it keeps hanging when attempting to load pages and everything is just SLOW. It's like they made some code changes on the site and it's usability has gone to shit.

I think I need another alignment. There is no dramatic pulling to one side or the other, but in order to go straight down the road, I have to have the wheel turned to the right. If the wheel is centered, the car steers to the left.
When I parked my car just now, I left the steering wheel visually straight/level. When I went and physically looked at how the front wheels were aligned, the left front was pointing out slightly to the left, and the right front was pointing out slightly to the right. WTF? This is the second time this has happened to my car with the steering being like this. My last alignment in April at Elite, they "fixed" this for me and the steering wheel centered made the car go straight.

It shouldn't be toe out, unless something has slipped from my previous alignment.

The fact remains that immediately after that alignment, the steering wheel was back to normal, and now it's messed up again.

Believe it or not, they probably got the alignment pretty good, they just need to adjust the tie rod lengths slightly to make the steering wheel "centered". Should be a very quick fix and not require a whole realignment. They would have to extend one tire rod "x" amount and shorten the other side the same amount. You'll have an ever so slight "asymmetric" steering response, but hey, now you have a straight steering wheel.

Well if it's not affecting handling, then I guess I should just live with it.
