"The easy fix is to unbolt it, rotate it one spline, and then put it back on"

What is that, like, 12 degrees at the steering wheel?  What if you only need 8 degrees?

Alternatively, you could note how far off the steering wheel is when driving straight, then loosen the clamp on the steering shaft just above the rag-joint coupler, rotate the steering wheel to where you want it and re-tighten the clamp.

Bingo.    No giant socket needed.

On the " car that won't follow the straight and narrow."   I dunno.  Could be an excessive infusion of Mai Tais or whatever the drink of the month is out there in Paradise, or a front suspension susceptive to the dreaded "Bump Steer", which can be improved with a proper alignment (again).
