Parenting an object changes transform of its parent

I was trying to set up steering wheel pivot for my spaceship so it rotates correctly. In order to do this I created empty object in the position where I want the pivot(img 1) to be and then parented the steering wheel(img 2) to this pivot. I thought all pivots would stay in the same place in global space and only changes would happen to the steering wheel in local space. I'm confused because it actually changed the position of the pivot as well(img 3), although the only thing I did was parenting the steering wheel to it. Pivot was moved to where steering wheel transform previously was.

Have you tried changing the tool handle location from Center to Pivot?
(The switch is located in the top left of the screen near the tool selector)

Also note you can change the location of the tool from Global to Local.

Hope this helps,
