    You should take it back to them. Its just a toe adjustment, a good tech should be able to do it in under 20min. A reputable shop will not charge you if the alignment was recently done too.

    I know you dont want to but i think it would be foolish not to. Why mess with the airbag clock spring etc when its a simple and free fix. Its going to take much longer to do that.

    If you adjust your steering wheel your steering geometry will be skewed

    I'm also kinda weary about the shop saying... "no, I don't remember saying that you could come back. I'm gonna have to charge you for another alignment."

    if you unhook the battery the evening before you plan to do the work, the bag charge will be gone. We just unhook 'em, the night before, at work
