According to my limited knowledge, the reason that the wheel is not =
centered is because of the way the tierods are adjusted. There is a =
threaded shaft in the middle of each tierod (one end is left-hand =
threaded), and the tierod is lengthened or shortened by turning it, =
usually to adjust toe-in/out. I successfully re-centered my wheel after =
a poorly done alignment (the mechanic insisted that the wheel was =
already off) by CAREFULLY turning each one the same amount (in opposite =
directions) until it was right. I had to drive it and re-do it until it =
was right.

I personally think that grinding away anything that the factory designed =
to
hold the steering assembly together is a real BAD idea. But just in case
I'm wrong, go ahead and go for it and then let us know how things came =
out. :)
