if you change apples to oranges this is not the case as ride height effects alignment, but for apples to apples I would run the gamble and monitor the tire wear

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It one rear strut is removed and replaced, I would think an alignment is necessary. The dealer says this is not the case...am I missing something?

POST 2Original post

I would not align it...the eccentrics that control alignment dont have to be touched to swap a strut - HOWEVER if you change apples to oranges this is not the case as ride height effects alignment, but for apples to apples I would run the gamble and monitor the tire wear

POST 3Original post

I agree, alignment not required. I replaced both my rear struts and monitored tire wear just in case... No problems. It only makes sense though as well as all the linkages are not being touched, only the strut being dropped down and removed/replaced. Hope that helps
