Default steering

I just replaced the oil pan etc. I brought it out the front after failing to get it past the trans. I dropped the drag link and the track bar and the pan came out easily (the suspension was dropped as indicated in the shop manual). I replace the track bar after seeing it was loose. Bolted everything back together. Now straight down the road is with a steering wheel at 1 o'clock. It no longer drifts, drives straight.

I don't believe it needs an alignment; I wondered if there is something at the steering box to bring the wheel back to 12 o'clock?

thoughts?

You can adjust the steering wheel by adjusting the drag link.
