Do you need a wheel alignment when struts are replaced?

In most cases, yes.

Struts are an essential part of a vehicle's suspension system. They help support the weight of the car and provide a smooth ride. When struts are replaced, the alignment of the vehicle's wheels may be affected. This is because the struts are responsible for keeping the wheels at the correct angle. When they are replaced, the wheels may need to be realigned in order for the vehicle to handle properly.

In addition, if the struts are not aligned properly, it can cause premature tire wear and damage to other parts of the suspension system. Therefore, it is important to have the wheel alignment checked whenever the struts are replaced.

Here are some of the signs that your vehicle may need a wheel alignment:

* The car pulls to one side when driving.

* The steering wheel is off center.

* The tires are wearing unevenly.

* The vehicle feels unstable when driving.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car's wheel alignment checked.
