if your steering column is messed up it will move around and its not suppose to. If your car is pulling it needs an allignment if your steering wheel is off center it needs adjusted and an honest shop can do that cheaply around 40 bucks or so.

How do you get the rank and pinion out of the steering collum?
The rack and pinion is attached to the far end of the steering column from the steering wheel. It normally in or just below the engine compartment. Depending on your car this can be enormously complicated and difficult or quite easy. I recommend you get a copy of a proper repair manual for your car.

What helps a car go straight?
Power Steering 2nd Answer: True, but automobiles have their turning wheels angled toward the rear of the car, just like the front wheels of a shopping cart. Friction between tires and road work to keep the turning wheels lined up back to front, and it takes a little effort to turn the wheels away from their normal back-front alignment. The effort to turn the wheels is much less if the auto has . . . Power Steering per the above answer!
What do yu do when your car begins to hydroplane?
you hold your steering wheel pointing as straight forward as possible, unless the car is sliding sideways, in that case you steer into the turn, which means if the back of your car is sliding to the right then you turn your steering wheel to the right. No sudden breaking or accelerating, just be as smooth on the throttle as possible.
How do you remove instrument panel on a vectra b?
Remove two screws (normally have 2 plastic caps on them) from the steering column which are behind the steering wheel, you will need to turn the wheel to get both, then 3 more below the cowling(column).Then take the keys out of the ignition and put them on the floor.Remove headlight loom, lever it out to get it started,then it will just pull out, then lever the drivers side vent with 2 flat knives, prising them equally so not ot break them, and remove 2 screws which are behind the vent.Remove both centre vents the same way to reveal another 2 screws.I found the sticking 2 knives each side L & R near the top (say 11 and 1 oclock if it was a square clock) locates the lugs which hold them in.Pull away the dash that is now lose, which will reveal the 2 screws holding the clocks in 1 far left the other far right), and there are 2 more at the bottom of the clocks,just above the steering column/cowling, nicely hidden a bit behind some wires.Magnetic screwdrivers are recommended.Pull out the clocks, unplug the MID/MFD/TID whatever you have, and that should enable the dashclock to come out.NEVER HAVE THE IGNITION ON WHEN THE CLOCKS ARE REMOVED, AND ONLY SWITCH ON WHEN EVERYTHING IS PUT BACK IN PLACE.This takes me 15-20 mins tops, and if there is anything missing that i may have forgot, please add to it.Just noticed i had the headlight switch removal bit around the wrong way in the previous post, and couldn't edit.
