Blown Shocks

I blew my shocks a couple weeks ago and they were replaced this mourning at honda but know my steering wheel is turned almost 45 degree to the left for the car to go straight whats up with that? Is it something with the shocks or is it maybe a wheel alignment but I got one a couple weeks ago when I installed my rims.

Go back, tell them to redo the alignment... they didn't have the wheel straight when they did it. They've gotta fix that... especially if they did suspension work today... cuz the alignment is required.

I went back to the dealer today and they told me it has something to do with the rods in the steering column they're not aligned right or something they said it has nothing to do with the wheel alignment lease:. So I have an appointment for next wednesday. Damn I was planning on installing my lowering springs this weekend guess not. Honda

When they do an alignment, they sometimes do adjust the tie rod ends.... was it turned before you brought it in??? Something tells me not. Just keep calling bullshit on them.
