Angry Handling

Hello, Maybe y'all can help put input on what I should do after this horrible f$k up, I took my c63 to a shop to put on headers and when he installed my headers he dropped the steering rack to have more space, when I went to pick up the vehicle the steering wheel was sideways and he said I should get a alignment I told him a alignment wouldn't fix a 90 degree angle steering wheel and we kept putting it on the lift to straighten up the steering wheel and he couldn't figure it out, long story short I fixed the steering wheel but the issue Im having now is that I have a-lot of play with the steering and it doesn't feel like it handles like before, what could this issue be!!!

Read this active thread. Looks like lots of similarities IMO

I made the other thread for this issue. Yours sounds a bit worse though, my car handling still feels fine its just off by like just a tad in terms of alignment -- was yours really off by 90 degrees?! sounds like however you fixed the steering to be center just masked the problem if thats the case -- people on my thread said to check the steering column.

I couldn't 100% understand what to do, I fixed the steering wheel being sideways had to drive 30 minutes home like that sketchy lol, only issue im having is that there is a-lot of play with the steering and It sways a-lot!
