Default Steering Wheel Alignment Removal

I recently had a wheel alignment done and my sterring wheel is off center slightly. It drives me crazy that it is not dead center. Can I remove the steering wheel and realign it with out messing up the airbag. It's a 2000 GT with no controls on the wheel itself just airbag and horn.

Thanks.

No, you don’t want to remove the steering wheel. It is not as simple a process as it may sound due to airbags and other steering wheel controls. I’d take it back to the alignment shop and have them center the steering wheel via the rack. They should do it for free since they didn't do it the first time. Good luck...

If its slightly off the toe adjustment fixes that. Resplining the steering wheel drastically changes the angle of the wheel.
