When pulling in to my driveway and park or any where else, I think Iam straight but I get out and Iam way off, crooked like, to get straight I have to go more to the right which inside the cab behind the wheel I think Iam crooked and get out Iam straight, could my frame be off I know my pass. rear tire is out of the wheel well more then the driver side rear a little, but while driving on flat roads I let go of the steering wheeel and the truck goes straight no problem so I dont know what it could be, alignment is good, and truck F-150 is 2 months since purchased brand new off the lot. Thanks

It's definitely a perspective thing. Sometimes I think I parked great, and I get out and I'm extremely crooked....

I know i'm straight!.....but when it comes to parking my SCREW i sometimes f**k it all up. I drive 32-54' Fire trucks when we have calls at the fire house and i can park one of those like its my job. But, when i park my screw at work, im never close to being straight with the line.

Come on now, one side is off all the time (passenger side) when I park get out and look it seems like Iam more off to the left and I look down the drivers side Iam STRAIGHT! Bent frame? Passenger rear tire sticks out from wheel well more then the driver side rear tire, it's more in the wheel well by 1/2 inch.
