Default Steering Wheel COMPLETELY Sideways!!!! HELP!

Ok so my steering wheel has been progressively getting more and more sideways. When I'm drving straight the steering wheel is sideways completely. Sometimes when I turn it gets stuck too. I should add that about 2 years ago the power steering was removed. Could this have anything to do with it? Any help would be great?

Take it off, and put it back on correctly.

if your power steering was removed, it must mean that you are have to put strength into turning the wheel, thus probably spinning the wheel on the mount. Take it off, reposition it, and tighten it back down.
Plus, get your power steering back installed.

if you have srs airbags in the wheel you will need to pull the airbag fuse out or youll burn it up disconnecting the airbags from the wheel to adjust it and youll need a funny star lookin tool with about 6 points on it to get the wheel off. I had the same problem good luck

this is an easy one. Take the car to an alignment shop and they will fix it when they do the alignment on the car.

Where's the easy button at

Depending on what the problem truly is. If I was the one aligning it, I would not pull it on the alignment rack first. I would immediately pull it into one of my normal bays after the test drive. Obviously, this is not something as simple as an alignment. I can't even think of anything off the top of my head. This is not a normal condition and needs to be looked at.
