Clicking sound and unstraightable wheel?
So something I noticed recently when I tried adjusting my steering wheel. It seems to get stuck when coming down, like I have to kind of give it a push down to make it go lower. Also, when I adjusted it, I suddenly started hearing clicking noises whenever I turn the wheel. I can also slightly feel the click on the wheel when I turn it. And it seems no matter how many times I get an alignment, my steering wheel seems like it can never be straight. I have to turn it to the left slightly to make the wheels go straight.
I'm not sure if any of these are related to each other, but any help/advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Are the alignment specs correct? Reputable shop? If so, have you checked for worn suspension components? Also check tires / rims.

Went to 2 different shops for an alignment, asked them to print out the specs and they both matched so I'm assuming they're the correct specs. Checked for worn suspension and everything looks okay, will change the front struts out and see if that helps any and after change the front tires. But could the suspension system cause the clicking sounds?
