JDM steering wheel off center after install

[iketiak]

After installing my JDM steering wheel it's a few degrees off center. I've tried removing the wheel and repositioning it a few times but it always feel about 1-3 degrees off to the right or left. I'm thinking the splines are not matching the O.E.M steering wheel splines but I’d have to check when I have time. Would this be a easy fix or should I bring it in the shop to have it properly aligned?

I have the same problem after replacing with European stalk for fog light....

You have to make sure the wheels are straight and true before removal/install. If they are already straight then it might mean you will have to adjust the steering rack.

This, I've done this mod in a few Hondas. Always get out abd make sure your tires are perfectly straight or when removing the stock wheel use tape or a marker to put a small mark to line up the new wheel with.

this should be easily avoided by using a 1-2 long strips of painters tape and line up the steering wheel with the column. I would probably put 2 strips about 3 inches apart so that you can properly align the steering wheel after, even if it's turning.
