Alignment shop, You propably dont want to mess with it due to the fact it more then likely means your alignment could be off.

Um, no. You don't reposition the wheel on the column to correct an off-center steering wheel, unless the steering wheel was installed off-center to begin with. That's called addressing the symptom instead of the problem, a.k.a. "stupidity."

The car must be realigned to center the steering wheel.

Yes just go to an alignment shop, For a front end alignment it should cost you anywhere from $45-60 bucks. Also I would check your tires alswell if your Steering wheel is out of whack your toe maybe as well.

go to an alignment shop. After i replaced my driver side axle, i noticed my steering wasnt straight anymore. It was a little off. Well, after months of driving like that, it was new tires time! I got new tires and told them to zero the toe. Got the car back, steering wheel was straight and the steering seemed a whole lot easier/lighter.
