if your driving straight but the wheel is turn how every much its because the axle is off center. so an adj trac bar would be a half way good idea if you need/ want to get the axle centered under the body. as for straightening the steering wheel...

As long as its driving straight, adj the draglink to move the steering wheel back to center.
