To place the wheel straight: Take your tools with you in your car, and drive around
until you find a large, empty parking lot. Enter that parking lot, take out your
tools and remove the nut on the wheel. Now, loosen the wheel, put your car in 1st
and drive straight ahead, a little bit above idle. Now, you'll see that the car goes
straight ahead, and you can just lift the wheel off and position it where you find
its straight. Replace the nut, and your finished. Works for me every time, if you
cant get the wheel straight, you have to adjust the steering rods some to get a
different position at the wheel, but it shouldn't be necessary.
