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

your friend put the hub on crooked, take off the wheel, QR, and move the hub into the correct position

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.
