What is your question?
I have recently got a alignment done on my 2012 Ford Fusion 2.5 the car goes perfectly straight but the steering wheel is turned at the 12:01-12:02 position while going straight. If I hold the steering wheel straight the car will go to the left. Which front tire toe setting can I tweek to set the steering wheelstraight while going straight. And which way would I go with the toe setting? I want to do this myself instead of driving 30 miles back to the alignment shop.

There is a component called a steering angle sensor which need to be set correctly during the alignment process .. That's not what is causing your concern but the alignment shop needs to correct this or determine exactly what is causing of center steering wheel. There are no provisions for diy adjustments - that will only make matters worse.
Hello, when a wheel alignment is performed, the "before" and "after" specifications will be noted on the print out from the alignment equipment. If the specifications are within the acceptable range, and the steering wheel is centered with these specifications, then it is not likely the alignment affecting a vehicle pull, but very possibly one of your tires is. If your alignment specifications seem accurate, swap the front tires left to right and see if the pull changes. If it drifts to the other side now, or straightens out, you know your tire is causing the pull. If it makes no difference, have the alignment checked again and ensure the steering wheel is properly centered when adjustments are being made to the toe setting. Ensure front and rear alignment specifications for "toe" are in proper range!
While driving on straight level highway - momentarily release steering wheel - vehicle still track straight ahead ?
