Default Straighten Steering Wheel?

I need to find out how to straighten the steering wheel, which is rotated 30degrees left when I drive straight.

Absolutely. Straightening the steering wheel is part of the alignment procedure.

Cool, appreciated, but I only want to straighten the steering wheel, the alignment is good, and I figure it is easy but I don't know how specifically.

the steering wheel is off center because the alignment is off. you can't fix one properly without the other.

Steering wheel is off because the alignment is aswell. Its not like an aftermarket steering wheel that if you install crooked you can take of the splines and put it back in straight. An alignment will fix all your issues.
