Steering Wheel/Column Off-Center

[Downway69]

Okay the problem is: My steering wheel or steering column is off center. When the wheels are perfectly straight the steering wheel itself is turned at an almost 90 degree angle to the right. I can tell it is not the alignment. When I let go of the wheel it doesn't pull to any direction but the steering wheel is angled! If it is the actual steering column I don't have any idea how to fix that. Any ideas? If you need more info I will be more than happy to post it.

A front end alignment also includes realigning the steering wheel. On older cars you could remove the steering wheel nut, pull the wheel off and reposition it on the shaft. I don't think the procedure is the same with the newer vehicles. I believe the adjustments are made to the suspension, but I'm not certain. Being 90 degrees off though is an awful lot. When I had my front end realigned a month ago, they reset my steering wheel so it was centered. I didn't have any pulling either, before and after the alignment.
