Default question on installing steering wheel

Could be stupid, but how do you ensure the steering rack and the wheel is straightly aline when installing? Any guidance?

thanks

Park the car with the original wheel facing straight up. Then install the hub with one of the bolt holes straight up. Than install the wheel with the top bolt hole straight up. This is where the trial and error starts. Next, find a section of long, VERY FLAT pavement and just coast slowly in your car to see where your wheel drifts. It usually only takes one notch or so right or left to make it just right.

FYI, with my OMP hub, if I aligned the "top" marker at the top, you couldn't get the wheel straight up and down. It would either be a little to the left or right. I fixed that by ignoring the "top" marker, and now it's perfect. This might effect your turn signal cancel if you're still using that, but mine works fine.
