Re: '91' XJ: Steering wheel alignment
Repositioning the steering wheel on it's column shaft may loose the
turn signal's automatic shift to neutral off position.

Re: '91' XJ: Steering wheel alignment
This is also making the assumption that there are splines that will match up
with the amount he is off-center.
I had this off-center situation after an alignment back in '73 when my dad,
unintentionally, took my Dodge Dart off-road. After a week or so I no
longer noticed it...... although my passengers did.

Besides, adjusting the drag link only takes a couple minutes, pulling
the wheel can be a nightmare, especially if he has air bags....
