Is wheel alignment necessary after replacing rear bearings on 1997 Camry?

Wheel alignment should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, any time that a suspension component has been removed or replaced, including wheel hubs and bearings.

Wheel alignment ensures that your car's wheels are properly aligned with each other and with the direction of travel this means ensuring the proper angles at which your wheels are set, including camber and toe, both at the front and the rear of the vehicle. Any alteration of these angles can create improper tire wear and handling issues. Since replacing the wheel hub assembly involves removing and replacing the wheel bearings and potentially other suspension components, it's important to have the alignment checked afterward to make sure that the changes have not impacted the alignment angles and that the car remains safe and drives properly.
