Default Steering Rack problem?

Ok so about a month ago I snapped my front axle, I think from bad control arm/cv boot/aggressive driving.

When I got the car back from shop my steering wheel was basically facing 3 o'clock when driving straight. Everything worked fine, steering responsive and no weird sounds or anything but when it rained the other day my steering was all over the place. Like I would be driving straight then the car would pull to the left going back to the correct 12 o'clock position, but then it would snap to the left placing the steering wheel back to its 3 o'clock position. Then today (no rain) it was back to 3 o'clock position and drove absolutely fine! The other thing I notice is the wheel naturally wants to pull to the right. Soo any thoughts??

Ok so maybe I just need alignment...

Still worries me how it acted in the rain but we'll see what happens after I get it aligned.
