2000 CLK 430 Conv.
steering wheel way off

I have a 2000 CLK 430 conv. and it has NOT been lowered or modified.

Last night when I started driving, I noticed that the steering wheel is way off
center and the wheel is feeling very loose.

When I went over very small bumps, the traction yellow light with a "!" in the center of it, kept lighting up. And I could hear a humming noise from the front wheel.

I recently had the car alligned, any ideas what might be the problem?

thank you.

It's possible the shop broke something when they did the alignment.

2000 CLK 430 Conv.
Took the car to the shop and found that a car or truck must have hit my tire bending it.

The tire mark is visible on the wheel. Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix it.
