It could be one spline out. I think the splines on the Crossfire are quite fine,so one would do it. The other way to get it back is tracking. The best way is to put it on four wheel alignment. They brace the steering wheel in the central position and then set the wheels to the correct alignment. Two wheel alignment is a struggle to get it right. Lots driving up the road to see if the steering wheel is straight.

Ken. Not sure about a different steering wheel. Doesn't the column cowlings line up with the back of the steering wheel?
