Aligning a steering wheel

[Shadow1]

does anyone know how to align a steering wheel with the wheel on? i installed mine today and i THOUGHT it was straightened out but when i went to go drive it, it cocked to the side. lol. but when i went to go take it off to align it, the bolt stripped


is there any way to straighten it out without taking the steering wheel off?

take it to get an alignment... they'll straighten the steering wheel and lock it down, and hopefully your tie rods will have enough room for adjustment to get the wheel straight.

how is the bolt stripped? is the head rounded off or is it just turning and not coming out?

they're allen wrench bolts that bolt the wheel to the hub. 2 of them are stripped.
