Default Problem after tracking

Ok ive had my car in for tracking as its been wearing the tyres on the insides (Front). I had it aligned and it felt better but my steering wheel is ever so slightly off center (Left).

Ive taken it back and had it done again and now its off slightly to the right and hes telling me its because my cars really low its causing problems.

Hes not give me printouts to show anything hes just said it was bang on

Car is a Mk1 focus

Sounds like he's not centralising the steering wheel beforehand.
ATS do free checks.

If the tyres are wore to one side it can cause this aswell. Swap front wheels to rear & c if it cures it.

best bet rear wheels are out which when you have the tracking done caused the front to be out as well.
