No, you have nothing on the shop.  An alignment is the final portion of a
CV joint job, however it is not generally included in the price.  They
should have told you you needed one, however.  Sometimes you get lucky and
it goes right back together like it came apart.  More often an alignment is
needed.  Especially if you knew your alignment was already out.
