Q: My front seats are not aligned straight

asked by on October 30, 2017

My front seats are not aligned with my steering wheel. They are not straight. Both seats are turned inwards. Not slanted or tilted, just turned. And I know how to remove and reinstall my seats but I don't know how to realign the teeth on the rails or brackets to make them straight when I reinstall them.

My car has 50000 miles.
My car's transmission is unknown to me.
