Adjusting Steering Wheel

[ChillyWilly3]

A while back I dropped the front suspension down slightly to get access to the oil pan on my 96 240SX. This required disconnecting the steering column knuckle from the lower rack-and-pinion steering section (it's the section right next to the power steering line). Unfortunately, I forgot to mark the two sections to get the correct alignment when I placed everything back again.

Now, when my wheels are totally straight, my steering wheel is pointing 30 degrees off to the right. Rather than going through that painful process of dropping the suspension again, is there anyway I can re-align the steering wheel just by adjusting something on the steering column.

Thanks.

i would say, but not exactly sure, to just remove your steering wheel and loosen the nut in the center. after that you should be able to turn your steering wheel back 30 degrees and everything should be fine.

I think you're right. I found a 240sx article from importnut:

http://importnut.net/steeringswap.htm

It shows how to do an aftermarket steering wheel swap on the stock wheel and it contains directions on how to unbolt the stock one. It also showed how to align the aftermarket wheel (which I guess also applies to putting back the stock). I just have to be careful with the airbag.

Thanks!
