ON our cars do you have to get your car aligned after you change out the struts and springs?

when i changed my springs I had too, but when I put new struts later on I never had too, so it just depends I guess

well its hard for them to align a lowered car because they cant just type in the factory settings they have to accually do the work and alot of shops arnt smat enough to do it.

So if your careful and dont jerk it around to much you might be able to get away with it.

i had to get mine aligned. The steering wheel had to be turned to the left for the car to go straight. So it all just depends on what it drives like after they are installed. But with my situation I had to get one. So just have to wait and see if it is needed or not.
