Default steering wheel

ok so i had a quick release steering wheel recently but i decided to take it off because i'm selling my car. Today i put my the old steering wheel back on the oem but somehow it remains crooked. I tightened it up real good and everything but when i drive it goes to the ride side but the wheels go straight.....so how can i adjust the steering wheel srtraight?????

Get the wheels straight. Remove the steering wheel, put it back on. It has many teeth, you could install it upside down if you're not careful!

Well, let's say you're driving straight and the wheel is tilted 20º to the left. So, you take the wheel off, rotate it 20º to the right, and you're done. Not too difficult.

Had the same problem a few weeks back. I took out the stock Si wheel and replaced it with a Prelude wheel that would not sit straight when the wheels were straight. After an alignment everything works prefect.

Me either. I was just looking at some pics of it today, sighing audibly. No foolies, I broke down and cried for a good 15 minutes when tealy was driven away.

The cool thing is, I spent $300 more than I sold it for to buy a 92 Si with a built suspension and a B16. It's cleaner, more comfortable, faster, handles better...the only problem is that it's way more of a theft target so now my paranoia is through the roof. Having ITR seats isn't helping that either...I'll probably sell those. Fawkin' thieves, they're killing this hobby. I can't wait to move to Japan, I'm gonna park my ITR on the street with only locked doors and feel totally safe about it.

I'll keep my EG for a while, enjoy it, but when I find a super clean 89 Si with a B16, I'm going back to EF's. I sound kind of funny when I say this, but the EF Civic is my favorite car ever made
