Default Not Quite Straight

I got my car back after getting my Differential rebuilt. I noticed in order to drive straight i need to keep my steering wheel at approximatley 10 degrees left. Is this an allignment probelm.

PS
I got the old gears back. OMG there was aCHUCK missing out of the pinion gear! 5 or 6 teeth completley gone. Very odd.

If all they worked on was the rear end, then your rear alignment is out of whack. They should have marked all rear end struts and rods so that it would be the same as before; failing that, they should have aligned it.

I'd say that if it tracked OK when you went in, then they owe you an alignment.

I wouldn't put too many hundreds of miles on it before getting it aligned...

Yep, alignment all the way. You wouldn't believe all the stuff that has to come out when you do gears. They owe you an alignment at least. Mine is going in for a full alignment when I'm done with the tc/gears...
