Steering Wheel issue
Details:
1992 RHD FD
Aftermarket Mazdaspeed steering wheel.
Over the winter, while the car was in storage I had to remove the steering wheel to replace the turn signal / wiper control arms. When I put the wheel back on, I definitely got it off centre (which I didn't notice until I took the car out of storage and went for a drive). After a bit of fiddling I re-centered the wheel (took it off, rotated, re-installed).
The issue I'm having now is that it seems almost every day now the wheel will be off centre on a whim.
Yesterday I woke up and the wheel was angled more to the right of centre. Today it was left of centre (a noticeable amount each way).
The other day it was in a more left-of-centre mood but by the time I'd driven for about an hour it felt pretty close to bang-on centre.
What would cause my wheel to arbitrarily be off centre to different sides seemingly on a whim?
