Steerings not quite right...
 
My steering wheel is about a quarter turn off, to the left, right now. I'm not too mechanicly inclined when it comes to the steering system on a car, could someone please tell me what I might do to remedy this?
Slight Claification... When I'm going straight, my steering wheel is turned a quarter way round to the left so it's not quite where it's sposed to be, just incase theres someone who wouldn't get that first part :D
Thnx

alignment/geometry never hurts if you haven`t got it recently and you should get it "narrowed" there..

basically you could do it yourself by adjusting tie rod ends, but u could never got it exact without right equipmnet.

Take it to be aligned, and they will also center the steering wheel for you

Great, thnx. Any ideas on how much that will cost me? I'm allready on a budget for insuring the car, hehe.

Is the alignment good... it doesn't pull... it goes down the road straight??? it just has the wheel off angle slightly?

why don't you just pull the steering wheel off and put it back on in the right place??? like a two minute job that anyone with a 17mm socket/wrench could do.

Ahh thank you icemark, thats a way better idea, and way cheaper... I actually didn't know you could re-align the steering wheel that way, but I did notice that the previous owner had taken the steering wheel off once because there are some screws missing...
