Had nissan and several shops took a look it, wherein everything was in spec, the fix was either re-align the steering rod, or pop the steering wheel off and then re-centering it. When I did mine, I just decided to put a momo steering wheel instead back then. I think the best way is to have it professionally put back.
Very possible. I've never taken my Z off road, but I would think an impact sufficient to misalign the steering rod would have damaged some other stuff, right? You didn't see any damage to anything but the steering rod?
