I'm glad you took the car to your indy to get it checked out.

It sounds like the people who did the repairs cut a few corners but probably not too many. If I were you I'd cut your losses get a second hand steering coupling / new non dealer part and get your indy to replace the oil cooler line. You could argue the toss and say they were damaged in the crash and that it hasn't been done right but you've already been back and forth - I think it is unlikely that you'll get a 100% fair deal. I'd consider it to be fair enough but I wouldn't be recommending the shop that did the work to anyone.
