where does the steering point when the wheels are straight ahead or are both wheels not running parallel. either way its either a wheel alignment issue or steering alignment issue, not hard nor expensive to fix unless you bent something.

For car with airbag, removing the steering wheel is not a easy task. Any mistake may cause the airbag to blow-up. The mechanics must disable the airbag (SRS) module before proceeding to remove the steering wheel. Putting it back need extreme care to make sure the airbag " watch-spring" is in proper order if not the airbag may not be activated when an accident happen.After all the work the airbag module must be stimulated (need a specialty tool) to make sure it is in working order.

Many local mechanics need not realise the legal consequence they may face if they remove and fail to fixs back the steering wheel propely which inturns has disable the airbag from proper fuctioning.
