      So I removed steering wheel and clockspring etc. recently and since putting it back, the wheel is askew, going anti-clockwise. I can only drive in a straight line with the steering wheel in this position.

      SO – does this look like something that needs tracking in a shop to fix it – or is it something I can do without special equipment, just reattaching the steering wheel again? And how can I avoid it doing this when I reattach?

      When I put steering wheel back on, the wheels were straight, and I lined the steering wheel straight before tightening the nut – but as soon as I started the engine it jumped that way.

      The wheels seem to be working normally, like the car doesn’t drift off to one side as long as the steering wheel is like this – it’s just the steering wheel that is aligned wrong, hopefully?

        Next time make a witness mark so the wheel goes back in the same position, but for now just move it.

          Remove the wheel and reposition it on the splines.

            Try moving it, should have been the same after done, some the wheel fits only one specific position, have to look try something.

              Do you have drive by wire? probably just take it off, tweak it over a little, and re-tighten
