Question about alignment on my 2000 SE???
#1
My dealer was replacing my right front strut on the car.
Does the alignment needs to be done on the car???
The reason I am asking is because after they put in a new strut, it looks like I need to turn the steering wheel slightly to the left when going on the straight road. Maybe it just me and everything looks fine.
I just wona know if the alignment should always be done when the things like strut is being replaced??
Thanks.

new strut
Why did they replace the strut? Sometimes I'll get a slight squeak from the front right when starting from a dead stop and the situation is just right (uphill and turning right). I was planing to mention it to my service manager next time I'm there, anything specific i should say?
I'm not sure if it needs an alignment of not after doing that, I would guess no, but I'm not sure about that.

yes yes
when U take the suspension apart the allighment needs to be done again. to take the strut off they took the spindle and the axle off so the allignment needs to be done again.. they did mine when they replaced my strut and spindle and other stuff that broke down there. but then again my damn tires were going east and west

you had your pass front strut replaced too? what was the problem and did replacing it correct it? I'm wondering if mine needs it, that creaking sound doesn't happen very often but I doubt it was designed to do that...It's hard to get the service manager to do anything when you can't reproduce the symptoms on demand.

But they said that will repalce the strut too, I don't know why but he said, "If the mount is bad, we need to reaplce the whole assembly."
I hope they are right.
I think Russ got the same thing done on his car, and the noise went away.
I will let you know when they install everything.
The service is so slow. ;(

Well they are replacing my front right strut and strut mount. Actually, the mount is what is damaged and that is why it is causing creaking noise when turning at low speeds.
But they said that will repalce the strut too, I don't know why but he said, "If the mount is bad, we need to reaplce the whole assembly."
I hope they are right.
