Steering wheel off a bit
My steering tires are straight, but my steering wheel is about 1/8 of a turn to the left. what do I got to do to get them lined up?

Get the tires straight. Remove the steering wheel (you'll need a puller) and reposition the steering wheel so that it lines up as you wish.

did you do any alignment work on your car in the past or anything like pull the wheel off where im getting at is if your steering wheel was straight and now its off i would get the steering and suspension looked at something could be wrong its always safe to see why its off then to just repair it quickly

The only way to fix that is to take it to an alignment shop. The steering wheel on mine is the same, but I like it there because I can see the guages better. I can't change it myself anyway, because the steering wheel is indexed to the column by way of the Horn contact hole, and I'm sure yours is the same.

I had an aftermarket on there as well, a Grant three spoke. The adapter still indexed with the horn contact hole, and it was still crooked, because the three bolts holding it on are not spaced equally (meaning it can only go on one way). Maybe your adapter is different.

Strange. I have a Grant Collector's edition. No problem.
