Replaced Ball Joints, Now Steering Wheel is Off-Center 850 1997

I replaced both the ball joints/A-arms on my '97 855. Everything went fine. Now, the car behaves perfectly - tracks straight, etc., BUT the steering wheel is about 10 degrees off center when the car is going straight ahead. Almost like the pinion gear slipped a few teeth on the rack. I was forcing it back and forth a bit, but can't image that I could have caused it to slip. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
