Default Centering steering wheel on jdm sti

My steering wheel is just off centre when driving straight I'd say one or two splines can I remove it and refit in center. The car is a my03 jdm sti. Didn't know weather it will **** up the dccd.

Isn't that more of a problem with alignment / geometry rather than the position of the steering wheel on the splines........ ?

Been like it since I had alignment. Been back six times for them to get it centre. Everything is straight and it drives in a straight line it's just the steering wheel is just off centre. And I can't be bothered to take it back.

Take it somewhere else and have the alignment done properly.

They must be doing it with a bloody bob line. Never mind I'll just get it sorted. Thanks for the replys so quickly.

(btw it wont effect dccd etc)

Track rods need adjusting both sides to keep the steering wheel central not just one side which it looks like whoever did the adjusting has done.
