Hi Guys

I have just had my tuscan re trimmed and now my steering wheel isn't straight and is tilted about 15 degrees to the left, when I sraighten the wheel the car turns right. Is it as easy as taking the steering wheel off and repositioning it?

Thanks for your help on this!

Yep, its as easy as that!

ETA - my Griff wheel required a puller to remove as it was seized onto the column splines.

Loosen as far as possible but leave the nut on the column when you pull on the wheel or you'll end up smacking yourself in the face with it. wobble

Leave those Allen head bolts, pop the horn button and use a large socket on the nut below.

You will need a 3 leg puller!

If the wheel has been off recently it probably won't need the puller.
