The fact that the stabilizer clamp was not moved is not an indication of no alignment done. That said, the only thing they really would have done with an alignment is adjust toe and straighten your steering wheel.

The idea that the dealer you took it to never did the original recall work is something to ponder. I think the liability of not actually performing that recall work and saying you did would be way too great for any dealer. It could be likely that they did replace the airbag and the new shroud they had just wasn't the updated one? Can you imagine the legal liability if that jeep had been in a fatality crash where that airbag was faulty and it could be proven it had not been replaced? It seems that could be detrimental to a dealer and not something they would risk.

Any advice on this one since my steering column doesn't seem to have the normal cutouts? I'm assuming the tiny cutouts at around 10:00 and 2:00?
