Default new steering wheel. CROOKED??

aites i drive a 97 CX hatch with a jdm obd1 d15b. i recently just bought the whole NRG setup with a momo steering wheel. i had my friend install it and now when i drive on the freeway i have to hold my steering wheel kinda at an angle for it to go straight. (when i keep the steering wheel in straight position my car curves to the left). i would think its an alignment problem but i dont think it happend with my OEM steering hweel. what you guys think?

you didnt make sure the wheels on the car were absolutly straight before u put the wheel on, gotta check and make sure its all straight, cause even if they are out a little, it will make the wheel crooked

9 time out of 10 the teeth on the hub don't always line up correctly even it's centerd. an alignment will solve the problem.

Discount Tire Centers always aligned my lowered cars, of course they weren't dumped to the floor.
