Got my clock spring replaced and noticed that my steering wheel is crooked. I also noticed that my alarm is no longer chirping when I set it. Is this common? And how can I fix it?

Take it back to the person that fixed it there should be no charge.

Yep. Best solution. The wheel being crooked would worry me, that is a sign that the clock spring may not have been installed properly because the steering shaft should not be free to move from the straight ahead position when you change the unit out.

As for the chirping, It is possible that the battery removal altered the settings for the chirp. I think those settings are in the owners manual.
