When my Steering Rack was replaced a while ago, it was not perfectly aligned with my Steering Wheel. When the Steering Wheel is turned so the front wheels are perfectly straight for the car to drive straight forward, the Steering Wheel is misaligned. It is turned to the right roughly 30 degrees!
Does anyone know if the steering wheel can be removed and then re-installed so it's in the correct position?
Will doing this cause any problems?
Steering wheel adjustment?

Re: Steering wheel adjustment?
You’ll have to play with / disconnect the airbag module to remove the steering wheel. That is what the manual shows to do so, like the manual notes, proceed with caution after reviewing Airbag System section of the manual.
Otherwise, it looks relatively straightforward.

Re: Steering wheel adjustment?
Yeah, the steering wheel is on a splined shaft without a key, so it can be rotated. If you do it yourself, borrow a steering wheel puller (usually for free from AutoZone, PartSource, or similar) to make the job much easier. Also, if I remember correctly, there's some special handling you need to do with the clock spring; something like, make sure it doesn't unwind itself, and make sure it's reinstalled in the correct position. Instructions you find on how to do the job should cover it.
