Default Installing Steering Wheel

I recieved my SiR-G steering wheel the other day, and I installed it. At first I didnt notice that I had the steering wheel off, so it was crooked to the right while driving. I adjusted the steering wheel about 5-6 times, but I still cannot get it to sit straight while driving straight! I know there is the crown in the road, but I still cannot get the wheel to be straight..

This is the first time this is happened to me, and IDK what else to do. Do the JDM steering wheels have different splines for the hub??

Or, is there any tips/tricks/suggestions any of you have while installing a steering wheel..?


Thanks!

When you take off the steering wheel, move it just slightly before you put it back on. If all else fails, get an alignment. It might be a good idea anyway if you haven't had one recently. Good luck!

When you say you adjusted the wheel several times, do you mean you just barely pulled it off the shaft, turned it slightly by a few teeth on the splined shaft, and then put it back on?

alright, i'll see what happens when I get an alignment.
Although the car doesnt tend to swerve to one side when I let it go.

when they do the alignment, they will fix your steering wheel, it will end up straight, just let them know its off, i used to work at a shop that did alignments, and this was a common problem with aftermarket steering wheel installs..
