SERIOUS Steering Alignment Issue

Well today i was driving the car from the tranny shop to test it and when i turned the steering wheel it didnt turn at all when i turned it a little, then it has "ALOT" of play in it and i have to hold the steeringwheel at almost sideways to make it go straight. Needless to say its still at the tranny shop cause an axle leak but i need to figure out what I need to do to fix this steering alignment I had the steering rack out during the S/C install but i made sure not to move the wheel but could the links on the ends of the steering rack have gotten messed up some how?

Sorry about my typing i just had a tooth pulled yesterday and its still hurting.

Yes. That is a critical fastener. What else did they forget?

I did the install. What do you mean Fastener??? it was just a bolt and its tight as i could get it i just checked it. I got the steering wheel stiff just had to keep turning it until the air came out of the lines :P.

BUT its still Crooked so im going to try to unbolt the steering column again and re adjust it.
