The box I purchased didn't come with a pitman arm which I had to swap from my old box, the position of the pitman must have been slightly off from old to new just enough to throw the toe out of whack.
The pitman shaft and arm should have alignment marks on them???

On the spline yes, but not on the height of the arm on the shaft.
