steering wheel problem

well me and stylin2k2 installed my tein ss yesterday. and the prong on the endlink for the tie rod got messed up. the threads were fooked and the nut is now stuck on there.. plus my steering wheel is turned 45 degrees to the right.

i know the endlink is about 45bucks in parts and i can do that myself. but how much would it cost to get my steering wheel realigned? or should i get my alignment first then see if the steering wheel is still messed up?

I'm not sure, but I think if when you take your car to get aligned, you can ask them to do a steering wheel center alignment. This is where they put your steering wheel straight and then align your wheels. I am not sure though so maybe you could call a shop and find out.

slowvic is an unknown quantity at this point
When you get an alignment, the tech is supposed to center your steering wheel. If your wheel is still crooked afterwards, the car wasn't aligned right.
