You don't "adjust the steering wheel". You lock the steering gearbox in place with the special tool and the wheel should be straight - if not, THEN the wheel gets removed & re-centered with the box locked on center. With that set properly, then the tie rods are adjusted equally to correct the alignment. If the box is off-center with the car driving straight, the steering won't return properly. Get the car aligned right at the dealer. Like I said, this is one of those few things you REALLY need to ONLY have done at the dealer (or a VERY competent independant shop with the right tools, as mentioned in my prior post.)
