My 04 pt cruiser pulls a little to the right, I want to tighten the bolt and align it?

What bolt do I tighten?

Update:

i know its simple to do, its just off a bit, just tell me which way to turn it, if its wrong I'll try the other way. Or just tell tell me how to align it without string and that nonsense. Just a slight torque or whatever, quit being a bunch of melon heads

    Conrad you're being the melon head, front end alignment equipment is the only way to achieve "accurate" front end alignment. I've done and helped do the "string" alignment, the "board" alignment, the "threaded rod & nut alignment" and a tape measure alignment over the years. The only reason for doing these was to be able to drive the vehicle short distance at low speeds to a front end alignment shop rather than tow it.

    If all is mechanically sound in the front end of your Cruiser, an alignment is usually less than $50.00 at most shops, you can't buy two new tires for that price, not to mention the wear factor another front end components due to poor alignment.

    In this case the loose nut is behind the steering wheel. Have the car looked at and repaired by someone who know cars. Could be just needing an alignment to other things.

    (i know its simple to do... if its so simple to do, why are you asking such a simple question?)

    You don't. It has to be put on alignment machine. There may be other problems with the vehicle.

    Unless you have a fixture and know what you are doing, refer this type of work to professionals.
