help me understand...

You are asking about clock spring while you have the SRS light on.

Clockspring returns the steering to the center position after turning the steering and releasing. Why would a clockspring cause the SRS light to come on?

You should just get it redone instead; it would be cheaper and higher quality leather to boot.

The clockspring is the airbags electrical connection from your steering wheel to your steerin column !!

Caster in your front suspension geometry is what returns your steering to the centre position......
