Hi!
I'm not good at this question...
I noticed that the left wheel looks to the left, but the right one is straight.
Photo - the position of the steering wheel, and the position of the wheels at the same time.
What I can do? How I can fix this?

You'll need to have a shop with a wheel alignment shop make the adjustments to fix those issues. There is also steering angle sensor that may need to be calibrated for the vehicle stability controls to operate properly.

Take the truck to the alignment shop. Your driver side is toe out and the passenger is prob in. You prob hit something a little harder than normal. Is your traction control light lit on the dashboard at all times? Typically your traction control light will come on when your steering wheel is crooked like that while the vehicle drives straight. The TC light will go away after a few miles of driving once your steer away angle has been corrected with the alignment.

Thanks! Got it.
You guessed it right, the stabilization error lit up... later it passed, but the wheels are still not positioned correctly. I'm going to fix it tomorrow!

I've had the same issue before twice because i tend to drive a little more gas happier that normal on dirt roads and sometimes rocks, ruts, potholes and what not are keen on getting in front of the truck for some oddly reason. honking at them doesn't work :) You'll be fine assuming you haven't crashed or anything like that. Our steering components have some give in them to prevent carganage when you hit certain things a certain way with you tires. Unfortunately when wheeling hard with IFS for example we must keep checking the alignment at least when it comes the time of doing trails where you may hit rocks or logs or any other obstacle a little harder than normal. I don't have any issues riding hard on washboards at speed as long as i'm not hitting things like that, maybe a huge square pothole i didn't see.

Good luck.
