I have an 01 GU with 6 inch lift and have just put new tyres on and had wheel alignment done, steering wheel was off centre before new tyres and i thought the wheel alignment would of fixed the problem but it didn't. Bloke at tyre shop told me steering wheel needs to be taken off and re-aligned that way. It is a st by the way. Is there any way i can disable airbags so i can take steering wheel off and re-align it myself or do i have to pay a mechanic a small fortune to do it?

get a HD front steer arm from superior eng. or similar. If your running a 6" lift I would assume you will be driving it so the stronger steer arm is a good idea anyway.

do you have adjustable panhards in there?

get the adjustable panhards and a superior heavy duty draglink.
then you can set everything back where it should be.
