My mechanic replaced a bad spring and now the steering wheel points to 11 o'clock when the car is pointed straight. He told me the wheel could only go back in one way and does not understand why it's not straight.
Nothing in the suspension or steering was touched during this repair. I watched it.
What are my options?
I'm a mechanic and have pulled alot of steering wheels off. There are several groves on the shaft that the steering wheel fits over allowing it to be put on in several different spots. There is no way it was put on in the right spot. Take it back and tell him it wasn't like that before and he needs to remove it and set it back on straight. If they won't do it then tell them you will take it to another shop and post reviews on line about there service.

sounds like the problem is in the valving in the steering box. You may have to get a new steering box. i would get it checked.

there is a u joint to be replaced on your steering shaft just after the steering shaft
open the hood look down to the steering shaft you will see a small u joint very common to go bad most auto parts stores carry the part

My opinion, not a good car. But that is a different story. It would be easiest to bring the car in for an alignment. The technician will tell you what the car needs to do the alignment. But if you want to do it yourself then you will need to inspect all the steering componants (tie-rods,struts, lower ball joint, wheel bearings, brakes, wheels, tire wear,tread pattern, and tire pressure, and lug nuts (loose or overtightened). Good luck.
