Clunking/rattling

hey all, hopefully this is in the right section of the forum..
but anyway, I am getting this cluking/rattling sound from my steering column when i go over bumps in the road. The whole steering wheel and column sorta vibrates and rattles, makes it sound like a piece of crap, sounds so plastic-y! This has happend ever since the dealership had to tighten the driver side axle since it was loose and was causing a ticking sound at low speed. now it seems to have thrown off the steering with this rattle noise and it pulls to the right which now it needs an alignment. But of course this isnt covered in the warranty, considering I didnt have this problem before until the had to work on the axle.
So any ideas? anyone else experience this?
And also, is it just me or does the back end when we go over bumps, sounds clunky, sounds like shocks are gone but i dont think they are, sounds so hollow.
