Headlight dust cap lost AND alingment

Hey everybody,

2 questions and help would be great. I have a 2008 C300 Sport and love it.

1. Right hand side headlight dust cap was loose and I noticed it fell off the other day. Now I don't know if it's still in the engine compartment or not. I also noticed that when I go over a pot hole or bump I hear this plastic hittin plastic kind of noise which makes me believe it's still in the engine bay. I looked in and couldn't see it. Any ideas how to locate or where it might be?

2. Car started pulling left and took it to a tire shop. They told me the toe was off and fixed it. After the alignment the car was straight as an arrow ONLY for a week tho. After a week it started pullin left again. What might be the cause?

Thank you in advance

1. Get a flash light, open the hood and look for it.

2. Take it back to the tire shop and have them do it right.

It's probably sitting on the plastic underbelly tray. Jack up the front right side and knock the tray a few times with your hand or a mallet to see if you hear the cap bouncing around...
