Default trans rebuilt, now problems

I have an 08 C6 A6 thant I brought to the dealer for a harsh 2-3 shift. Dealer had to pull the trans to replace the#1,2,3,4,& 5 seal rings which required them to remove everything from the torque tube back. Now when on roads other than smooth blacktop, the car is creaking an every little bump or vibration. It sounds like a bad bushing or rubber creak, and seems to be coming from the passenger side A arms or shock mount. Any Ideas how to fix this. Also, now there seems to be a lot of slack on the pass side half shaft where it goes into the hub. When I rock the car back and fourth in park, it makes a clunk sound. I can also feel it while driving at slow speeds when on and off the gas.

I do not want to return to the dealer because they damaged the nose and rocker pannels and refuse to take responsibility for it, and they had trouble getting the brake line that goes across the rear of the car back into place, so it was left hanging under the car.

I can understand why you don't want to go back to that dealer...it's scary they could screw up so much in one visit.
