Default Steering wheel issue

Pulled steering wheel from a 89 Prelude for my 89 CRX. The old wheel was on straight but the Prelude wheel will only go on crooked.

I have adjusted it by moving it to the next notch over on the right and the left. Still no luck - it drives to the right or the left depending on where I move it. Never right in the middle like the old wheel.

Does anyone know of a way to adjust this? It should in theory slip right on straight.

Thanks

Old thread but Problem solved. Hopefully this will help someone else as well.

Solution: Rear trailing arm bushings replaced. Steering is dead center now. Nice!

i love the 88-89 and 90-91 prelude wheels. i loved it soo much i even had one in my del sol lol. god i wish i could find another one. they are just soo perfect for the older honda chassis. I hate the stock civic and crx steering wheels.

These wheels are good, if you like accidentally hitting your indicator and wiper stalk every time you turn the wheel.

Yeah the wheel sits an inch closer to the wiper and turn signal stalks.

I cut up and extended my prelude wheel so it sits in the stock position. I just love that steering wheel.

Here are the 3 wheels I have.. The 89 Prelude S wheel, 91 Prelude Si, and the 91 CRX Si.

True, the Prelude wheels sit much closer to the switches but you get use to it.
