So this week i will be replacing both of my badly worn front strut mounts. The only concern I have is if will I need an alignment afterwards even if I mark where the two lower bolts are relative to the knuckle before dismantling?

 

yes you should. Any time you take apart the suspension you should always get a wheel alignment

 

Roll about a week and you will see...thats why I got the Lifetime Alignment so when I switch to Coilovers just pay 10 bucks for the alignment, then do the LCA Bushings another 10 bucks....
