Steering wheel clocking question

Since my last wheelin trip my steering wheel has been 30* off center. Tonight I corrected it by putting a couple turns into the drag link. This should not be the correct way to fix it but I still have the same amount of rotation from center to right and from center to left. From this information can anybody tell me the origin of the problem?

slightly bent drag link would be my guess.

I bet the steering wheel was turned 30 deg to the right and to fix it you lengthened the drag link.

It was off to the right and that is how I fixed it but I could not see any visible bow or bend. It was a significant correction and that is why I thought there might be trouble somewhere else.
