Steering Wheel Position?

In the midst of my kitchen-gutting project (a one-man show), my wife graciously allowed me some P-car time. I put on the new 930S steering wheel. I took it for a four block ride and everything seemed OK (that was two weeks ago). I used the car today for the first time since and noticed that the wheel is ever-so-slightly canted to the right, not noticeably, but if I move it to the left just slightly, the car veers left at a very, very lazy angle. It may have been like that before for all I know. It may be on correctly, but my question is this......if I go to the trouble of taking the wheel off, just how much re-postioning of the steering wheel can I expect from engaging the next spline? (Tire pressures are even).
Thanks,

Steve

Steve:

Since you likely adjusted this in the driveway, it doesn't account for the fact that most roads have a slight "crown" to them. Best to back off the center nut a little, drive around the block and then adjust. I had the same issue with my Momo install last year, just ended up moving it over a spline or two.

Good luck.

Often a spline is too much. You can also adjust it via the tierods & this allows for a finer adjustment.
