Default Steering alignment

I just finished up a clutch job, and everything is great except my steering is a little off. I did drop the subframe during the job, and I've read it can cause it to get misaligned. I made sure to mark the steering shaft so I could realign it. Everything looked lined up to me.

Do I just need to get an alignment now, or is the steering shaft off?

Alignment, I like to use two really big screw drivers and leave it in the alignment holes, that way I know for sure the subframe went back exactly as I dropped it.

The times I have seen it after a subframe drop it was simply a reassembly one spline off. I was just pull it apart, align, and secure it again.

Okay, I went and had an alignment done on Friday. It fixed it, and everything is great.
