Interesting you say that, mine failed on a passenger side seat belt but not on the left front top ball joint that I discovered had play in it.
wheel alignment
Re: wheel alignment
They often miss something. Theres 30 or so items on the check list and some of those cover several bits. ie steering mechanism is wheel bearings 6 ball joints 2 u joints a steering box a idler joint the power steer hoses the pump and the outer fan belts Suspension mechanism is even worse. Cars are not checked by computers and a lot of us are glad about that
