Hey, so a while ago i spun out and hit a snowpile.. Anywho my steering wheel is no longer centered. Now i do need a alignment, but for the time being is there any way to align my steering wheel? How do i go on about doing so?
i was peaking around today, but wasnt sure if i should unbolt the steering wheel linkage near the ps.
Thanks !

Get an alignment.

You can manipulate the steering linkage by rotating the splines, but then after your alignment, your steering wheel would be off again.

you could pull the steering wheel and rotate it 1 or more splines to get it straight.

So you hit something, pushing things, rather 'bending' things: likely LCA mounts were bent. Unfortunately, like wabbit said, you get the steering wheel straight then once the front end is aligned properly, the steering wheel will be off again.

Most likely, you caused the cam bolts to rotate. i think they would rotate easier that the LCA mount would bend. Have a look to see if the cam bolts on one side are drastically different (note: they may be set drastically different if the frame was previously bent, but for not, lets assume it wasn't).

Read this and you'll probably be able to diagnose the problem yourself.
