I have removed the steering rack and the U-joint from a 740 - I do not see how one can remove the U-joint without taking something else apart.

Find out how they removed the U-joint - what else came apart? Perhaps the reassembly was done incorrectly.

It is a bit of a mystery to me that they centered the steering wheel. The shop may have disturbed your front end alignment.

Usually steering wheel centering is done after a wheel alignment - did they do that?

Did they do any other work? Wheel alignment? Rotate tires? Change tires?

I do not think that it is that easy to turn the front suspension when changing the u-joint.

It is easy to turn the steering wheel during the process. They should have locked the steering before they removed the u-joint.

If they centered the steering wheel, they had to have the front end perfectly aligned and the front wheels straight to do it properly.

That is why I think that steering wheel centering is done after a wheel alignment.
