Went rallying, need alignment help with steering wheel

Had nissan and several shops took a look it, wherein everything was in spec, the fix was either re-align the steering rod, or pop the steering wheel off and then re-centering it. When I did mine, I just decided to put a momo steering wheel instead back then. I think the best way is to have it professionally put back.

But seriously, zero issues, but I no longer have an airbag. Love my Nardi!

But that'd mean the huge whole lower arm is bent which I doubt, or that just the sway bar wasn't cut perfectly at the ends.
