Is this an alignment issue or is it something else? My 01 V40 was hit a while back and just got around to fixing it. The front left strut was shifted a little so I replaced it and going to replace the right one as well. But here is my problem. When the steering wheel is straight the left wheel is straight but the right wheel is slight turned the left. So basically the left wheel is straight and the right wheel is turned to the right. Is this an alignment problem or something else? I can't seem to find any other damage. Thanks in advance.

Have an alignment done and if they can't bring it in to the proper spec's then something is most likely bent.

Is there something I can adjust that can straighten the right wheel before I take it to the dealer?

If the Dealer is close then I would leave it.

If the Dealer is far away then adjust the tierod to make the wheel come in some.

It is better to have a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension first before aligning your wheels. As it may be highly possible that your problem is also caused by steering wheel issues, therefore power steering (http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Engine/Steering) work needs to be performed before doing an alignment.
