In the event you are taking back to the same place, I would be sure they do not make up the difference by simply changing just the tie rod lengths. That would be the simple fix [ but not Correct fix] vs. actually dropping the box again to get the spline alignment correct. You just never know what some will do.

He said they would have to drop the box and adjust the shaft and that it would be about a 2 hour+ job so I am assuming that would preclude them screwing with the tie rods.
At least I do not have to pull the steering wheel off again, although I am getting very quick at it.
Thanks for all your help.
