WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Subaru SVX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ensure wheels are in a straight-ahead position. With air bag module and steering wheel removed, turn clockspring pin clockwise until it stops. See Fig 1 . Then turn clockspring pin counterclockwise approximately 2 1/2 turns until word CENTER appears in indicator. Align arrow marks. See Fig 1 . Clockspring is now centered. Install steering wheel and air bag module. Turn steering wheel fully in both directions to ensure steering is normal.
