Steering wheel not centered
My car is in good alignment and drives straight, but the steering wheel is a bit off center. Is there an easy way to adjust this? It looks kinda goofy.
You need to adjust your tie rod ends, pulling one in and the other out. It's part of a normal alignment, to set the steering wheel to center and then adjust the toe. You can get it done by a professional, or some people make their own do-it-yourself alignment jigs.
I've done this in the past by removing the steering wheel and repositioning it on the splines, but that was pre-airbag, so naturally I suppose these days with the march of technology, everything is so much 'easier' now.

That's what I thought about doing, but I suppose getting an alignment might not be a bad idea, if the steering wheel is off never know what else might be off, even though I don't notice it.
