How to center a steering wheel...

[Al]

Come on Nick, you expect me to work on a car and not get greasy. What fun is that? My wife will think I am goofing of,f if she doesn’t see grease and oil all over her 100% cotton towels.

Anyway thanks, too simple. Got to remember to disarm the air bag.

You'll have to pull it off and center it maually.  Super F-U-N!  But not as bad as one would think.  

What car do you have?  Either way, in the bentley, look up steering wheel removal.  The steering wheel is on a Splined shaft (like a CV drive shaft into a hub)  And will move in about 2-5*  increments.  If you have the ability, you'd want to set the wheels perfectly straight, take the steering wheel off, and place it back on correctly.

its just as simple as that.  Should be, anyway, depending on your audi, however all the models I know (T44, C4, C5, C5) are like this.  As are about a million other cars.

  How can I fix that? I read the Bentley but don’t have a special tool.
  It drives me nuts going do the road and the wheel isn’t centered.

  Thanks,
