To center the steering wheel you have to unscrew (extend) one tie rod end, and screw in the other by the same amount, depending on which way the steering wheel is offset. This won't chage the alignment, just the position of the steering rack right or left. I've done it on other cars, but not sure of the adjustment points on SAAB, or whether its a DIY. That a mechanic wouldn't check for that amazes me. I've had it happen several times on other cars. Now when I have any front end work done, I put a piece of masking tape on the top of the steering wheel, and a matching piece on the adjacent cover. I tell the service mgr that I want it to be lined up that way when I pick it up!
