There is the possibility that the drag link adjuster slipped because the collar was not tight enough. Be sure to cloesly inspect the other components and have someone move the steering wheel back and forth while you look at things.

Here's a pic of the adjuster on the drag link. You can loosen the bolts on the clamps at both ends and rotate the collar to center the wheel. Make sure you get the bolts tight after you make some adjustments. Only adjust to center wheel once you know everything else is OK.
