Question Accord 1993 Streering wheel not Straight

Hi,
My steering wheel is rotated to the left.
I removed the airbag and tried to adjust it but could not get it right.

I remember the guy at the alignment shop adjusted it a while ago.
Is there a way to do it without affecting the front wheels alignment?

Best regards

How far off is the wheel?

Is the wheel always rotated, or did this happen recently (say after an alignment)?

If i remember right, the only way to fix it, is to have it adjusted at the tie rods. If it just happened after your alignment, then you need to take it back and have it corrected.

The tires could still be aligned, but the steering wheel can be off. If the wheels are straight, you can release the u-joint, align the steering wheel, then reattach the u-joint to correct the problem.
