Default Losing control of my integra

Hello everybody- I took my p/s off my GSR about 6 months ago and had it aligned by Big-O about 3 months after that. My steering wheel is now cocked about 45 degrees to the right when I drive straight. It is almost as if the steering arms weren't tightened when my car left the shop because the steering and the amount of play that I have in my steering has gotten progressively worse. I have H&R race springs and a Skunk2 camber kit up front which I installed before I took my car to Big-O. Whenever I hit bumps on the freeway my car loses it man its crazy. Needless to say I have been driving very slow. Any ideas?

It sounds to me like they might of not have tightened one of the tie rods after doing an alignment. This can lead to extreme toe out and a majorly off center steering wheel. The toe out will also make your car very darty and uncontrollable. If you stand in front of your car and can visually see toe out then you got too much.
