Dealer wasn't sure if this was covered as part of the repair. Having both fronts repaired presently, I recon I should get one, no?
Anything else that should be part of the repair that I may be missing?

Here is a link to my experience having both fronts replaced(short version is they did an alignment)
I'm RS4less right now as mine is back at the dealer again. This time for clunking from the valves in the trunk and bottoming out on small bumps. Feels like I am driving on just springs, no dampening at all. Body roll is increased as well.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/100997.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rs4b7/msgs/100997.phtml</a</li></ul>

Truely there is nothing to get messed up unless they screwed around with the tie rod ends.
Everything kind of pops apart and pops back together. Not very many adjustments.
I ended up getting a lifetime alignment at firestone when I installed my SL's so I can go back as many times as I want for $0 after adjustments :-)

Wheel alignment.. Should I have the dealer do it (Because they can) or should I go to a third party?
