Ok, I've spent all day searching and reading all the posts possible, but after reading maybe 100-200 posts, I still couldn't find my answer, so I decided to bring it here on a new thread. Sorry, I know this has been answered but can't seem find the answer.

Well, after off-roading and then putting everything back together, my steering wheel is not aligned and while I put the steering wheel straight, I drift to the left a little, so I'm not sure if that's because something I did when putting it all back to normal. Or is it normal, and should I just go somewhere and get it aligned?

We're not quite understanding your post. What was put back together?

Being bone stock, you don't have much that needs aligning. Many of us have found our steering off after off-roading. The correction is usually very simple--adjust the drag link. This article tells you how:

It could be other, more serious, things, too, but try that first and come back and let us know how it worked.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant I disconnected the sway bar, went through some trails, and then connected it again. After that, the alignment was off. I was just wondering if I did something wrong when connecting. I'll read Mark Doiron's suggestion and check back. Thanks
