Steering wheel adjustment

I took my '02 3500 4x4 in to a shop for an alignment, because the steering wheel was tracking toward the passenger's side when steering straight down the road. The mechanic told me that the alignment was in spec, but that the steering wheel was off-center. He adjusted it.

Now the steering wheel tracks in the opposite direction, toward the driver's side. It's still off-center, just in the opposite way. How do I adjust the steering wheel on these vehicles? I've looked at the intermediate shaft and the box, and I've checked Dave Fritz's dodge.org, but can't find anything that looks relevant.

Thanks!

Re:Steering wheel adjustment

The bar that runs from the steering box to the linkage, has a collar with 2 bolts. Loosen the bolts and turn. steering wheel will move. Does not affect anything else.
