Do I need to align my wheels after replacing my struts?
It depends on the vehicle design. A strut, by design, supports the wheel and tire. Some models aren’t affected when the struts are replaced, while others do change the wheel alignment. Strut removal and installation can affect tire alignment. Some struts have adjustment slots to perform the alignment. All struts affect alignment in some way, so it’s best to check the specific vehicle service manual and specifications.
