Loose steering after accident.
I was involved in an accident last December.

After getting the insurance company (HIS insurance) to pay for fixing it, I noticed the steering feels sloppier. I had a feeling that they did the alignment wrong, and my toe was off - so since I have lifetime alignments at Firestone, I took it there and had it redone.
Firestone showed me the specs, and they were completely in spec according to their equipment. Since then I've had it done 2x more (new springs and clutch swap forced me to) and the alignment is showing to still be within spec.
My car just doesn't have the somewhat aggressive (for a Maxima) feel to the steering it used to.
Any way to fix this and tighten up the steering some?

daymn that sux.. at least you are alrite 
so all camber were adjusted to neutral and steering still feel sloopy? i doubt it's an alignment issue. i think it has to do with power steering. maybe flush the power steering fluid?
