Simple steering wheel question.
I have a evo IX mr. Before i take the wheel off can anyone tell me if it's splined and I can remove it and install it back in a different orientation?
There's more than eight splines, there are lots of splines. So, no problem changing the orientation of the wheel.
However, this isn't the proper way of straightening a crooked wheel. Straightening the steering wheel is done by adjusting the length of the tie rods, one longer and one shorter until the steering is straight.
I have a wooden homemade gauge in my garage I use for setting toe. Right now I can tell you my car is toed out in front by 1/32 of an inch, not enough to be worth getting out the tools.

Okay calm down lol. My car is in alignment. When I did the front sway bar install. You had to take the splined column apart and my marks got rubbed off >_<. Now my steering wheel is so off center it would be impossible to fix with an alignment. So I have to flip my wheel completely over or else my tie rods would be like 3-4 inches different in length if that's possible lol. So no worries. My car is in alignment. Just got done 2 months ago =D
