1994 passat estate 1.9 1z

Had track rod ends replaced at a small garage who we use often and have never had problems with, then took the car to a larger garage to have alignment done.The car pulls badly to the left now which it never did before the alingment. After a few days a clunk started so we had a look under the car, there was grease splattered everywhere from the cv outer joint gaiter, the steering rack gaiter has damage too. We contacted the garage who have offered to replace the gaiters (the mechanic said he probably turned the torch up too high) What other components should they be responsible for?

Thanks,

Mandie.
