^^^ Your steering wheel problems remind of my own, but different.
I had a 2004 Ranger and I slid it on ice into a bridge activating the drivers air bag.

I had it fixed at the Ford dealership and they drove it to me at work when done. When I got in it to go home I noticed right away in the parking lot that the steering was goofed up. The wheel had to be manhandled to return to straight on every turn. It was like manual steering doubled.

I drove it back to the dealer and complained. He talked to the tech who had drove it to me and the tech said "it steered as normal"

After finally getting the salesman to drive it, they kept the truck and returned it to me the next day and I was told they forgot to put the steering wheel shim/gasket back on. It steered perfect after that.
