Alignment question.

[lmeavtitn]

I blew a strut tonight and am going to replace the struts all around. Do I need to et an alignment when I'm done? I drive an 03 dodge ram 5.7 4x4

I would recommend it.

I just got an alignment last week with my new tires. Is it absolute necessary? With the way the suspension is set up I can't imagine changi g struts would alter the alignment of the wheel.

 

[bigbadram1500]

I've read mixed reviews on it. Some say yes, some say no. I would have it checked at some point to make sure everything is ok.

It's probably not a must but I always get an alignment after any suspension related repair but that's just me. And the fact that I have a lifetime alignment package from my Firestone shop so I do it because it's now "free" to me lol

^ I did the same thing right after I lowered my truck. Bought the lifetime alignement, wasn't actually very much at all. Have had 4 alignements since then. Definately worth it.

 

[Hollabakzach23]

The lifetime was double what you would pay for one alignment so anything more than 2 alignments it becomes free. Best deal I could think of lol

id say yes and believe it or not changing tires and struts can affect your alignment i see it all day long might not be much but can affect it. ALSO READ THIS if you do get oner watch them when they do it the tards at the shop i work at will set it all up then instead of actually adjusting it just hit the reflectors on the wheels until it goes all green on the screen
