Is a wheel alignment necessary when the upper front strut mounts are replaced?

Yes, a wheel alignment is necessary whenever components of the suspension system, such as the upper front strut mounts, are replaced. Suspension components work together to position the wheels correctly, enabling the vehicle to roll smoothly and safely. Replacing the upper front strut mounts can alter the alignment of the wheels, affecting their angles, camber, toe, and caster settings, which can impact handling, tire wear, and overall vehicle stability. To ensure proper alignment and optimal vehicle performance, it's essential to perform a wheel alignment after replacing the upper front strut mounts.
