Alignment after rear strut replacement?

[oldskool3]

Hey guys I'm replacing my rear struts and was wondering if I need to get an alignment afterwards? Thanks

they "Shouldn't" require a re-alignment. however, i am of the belief that any time you replace a suspension piece, you should get an alignment to make sure nothing went out. manufacturing tolerances can cause some wacky crap to happen.

I have done quite a few suspension system replacements, in my experience I have had allignment issues with most of them afterwards. That being said, I also did the fronts at the same time as the rears, so thats a lot of changing parts.

depending on how shot your current setup you might need a alignment. i replaced my blown struts with new struts same brand and model and my alignment was fien before but I did need oen after the fact.

I would get an alignment, but wait a couple weeks after the install. If it's especially bad you'll be able to feel it pull. The new parts will need time to settle and "break in".
the way the rear adjustments work, I doubt you'll be able to get it close once you taken it all apart.
I just did coils in my car, and was waay off when i put in on the machine. that was 2 weeks ago, and its still settling.... but they are coils
