if your wheel isn't straight then get an alignment, if your head isn't straight then hit vtec in fifth gear or take a bong hit, clarity my friends, CLARITY!!!!

Pull your wheel off and move it over by one spline. Just keep moving it until you get it straight. I had the same problem when I put my MOMO wheel in my Integra and in my Civic. BTW, I wasn't able to keep my horn/airbag in the Integra, but it is possible to rig up some wiring.

I'm having the same problem. My airbag blew in my 96 teg and got a steering wheel assembly from a 00 teg and for some reason, I can't line the splines up to make it straight like my 96 steering wheel--maybe they're made off a little from each other

my car is aligned (thank you very much but i need to just double check how to move the wheel over a spine...do i just unhook the battery, take the plastic panels of the wheel on the sides off (do i even need to do this?), or can i access this from underneath?

thanks for all the help.

I think it's highly unlikely that Honda messed up on a wheel and made it a tiny bit off. If the wheel isn't straight and it's never been messed with, you just need an alignment. If it has been taken off before and you can't get it back on straight, again, alignment.

If anyone has replaced the Steering Rack .. it could be miss aligned somewhat ... i think there is a section in the Helms about aligning it back properly but i got 2 integras and ive been working on the electronics and engine ... havent had time for cosmetics and fixing the Airbag and horn (;
