Steering knocked off center
So after rock crawling all weekend my steering wheel is about a 1/4 turn off center. Is that normal? Can I just reset it by adjusting my track bar? The ESP light stays on too so I assume once my steering is re centered that will go away. I searched but couldn't find what in was looking for. I'm sure there is a write up for this somewhere.

Its always possible you tweaked an axle tube or "C", but most likely it is a bent tie rod or relay rod (AKA drag link). Either way the alignment effort will correct the toe-in and steering wheel center. Its just a question of whether the castor and camber are right when you are done.
