    ok, a couple of questions, if ya dont mind answering one or even all if ya can.

    Well for the steering wheel, just disconnect the battery and the airbag fuse. Remove the screws holding on the airbag pad from behind. Then you'll need a puller to remove the wheel from the spline. And with those altezza lights just search ebay there everywhere

    id say its probly like that from alignment.. not unusual for places to just pull one wheel straight to the other.. without checking the position of the wheel resulting it straight wheels when steering wheel is turned

    and do you know where the a/c is leaking from?

    A common place for an A/C leak is the seal where the hoses connect to the compressor, and they're not too expensive either.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    For the steering wheel, you need to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds to disarm the Airbag, then you need to undo the star screws on the back if the wheel, disconned the airbag wires, then undo the bolt to get the steering wheel off. realign it and slide it back over the spline. You don't need a puller for the VT steering wheels. Then just reconnect the airbag wires, put the airbag back on and reconnect your battery.

    i reckon you will only need a wheel alignment, get that done and ya wheel will be straight
