after a long drive on each the steering wheel goes off center.
The op said "goes off center" so it wasn't that way from the shop so the adjusters slipped. I use a large 1/2 socket wrench and torque the adjuster lock bolts as hard as I can and that keeps them from slipping.

K, I'll tell that to the guys who do the alignment next time...or, I'll just do it myself after I get the car home.

Hey I got a question for you guys,I set my negative camber to max but the problem is that it gave me alot of toe out. I was trying to figure out in order for me too fix my toe and keep my negative camber do i need adjustable toe links?? or can i come to a solution without it?

Toe will change when you set camber. If i remember correctly set the camber first then toe. You might lose a .1-.2 degrees of camber when resetting toe.

So basically there is no real way around losing camber when messing with toe unless you get adjustable toe??

In the front you really don't lose any negative camber when you set the toe but in the rear with both adjusters at full extension (max neg camber) you will lose a significant amount of camber as you set the toe. Since rear camber is normally limited by the toe adjusters, replacing them with extensible toe links (like a bump steer kit) will add a little more maximum negative camber.
