Regarding Clock Springs

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! A faulty clock spring typically affects things like airbag deployment, horn function, and steering wheel controls, but it doesn't directly impact steering alignment. If your Jeep Wrangler's steering was off after off-roading, it's more likely related to your suspension, track bar, or tie rods, as you suspected. The clock spring is more about electrical connections in the steering wheel, so unless you're having issues with those, it might not be the culprit here. I'd get a second opinion before replacing it.
