Default stearing wheel not straight

I don't really know when it happened. but I think it happened after I installed my bumpers both ront and rear. Is this normal? I know it sagged but didn't think it would be enough to have to straighten the wheel. I tried to adjust it last night. But I have to drop my AEV skid plate. so some other day. after I get a leveling kit or a lift I guess. It might just go away after that.

See the following on how to re-center. Very helpful write-up.

extremely easy and unless you plan to lift soon, you may experience ESP issues if you dont center it now.

happened when i was off road i heard a boing sound steering wheel turned 90 degrees and the ESP light came on. later i took it in to the dealer Avondale Chrysler Jeep they said the clock spring broke and needed to be replaced. Seems to be common he said. anyways that was two years ago and it has not happened again.

I was able to adjust it some. I have to drop the aev skid plate to rotate it all the way around. I am pretty sure it is just the sagging I got from my front and rear bumper installation that threw it off. I plan on a leveling kit soon to get back to stock ride height and get rid of the rake. I will do the final adjustment at that time. I do know that I was having a problem with the esp light comming on every time I started the jeep. but now it isn't. I was just surprised that the amount of sag I got from the AEV bumper. I don't even have a winch yet.
