06 aveo strut replacement need an alignment?

[jonelledge]

ive got the struts sitting in the box, but havent had time to install them, but i was thinking and has anyone replaced them and not have to get an alignment? or did you have to get an alignment? we are tight on cash at the moment, but if thats what need to be done then ill just wait a bit and then change them out, ive never changed struts before and i do know you mess with the spring, and changed plenty of shocks witch you dont. just simple questions:

anyone not get an alignment and is fine for a little while?

anyone have to get an alignment?

thanks guys

These cars don't hold alignment all that well to begin with...
I get one done every second oil change. Not that expensive where I go anyhow.

Just to be on the safe side, I'd wait and do it when you have more funds.

Ok ill just pick me some parts and a level and measure it all out. And it'd there is much difference ill adjust it. I got one done on my s10 blazer when I droped it with spindles. The toe was out bad so I adjusted it enough to get to a shop But it cost $92 foe just that nothing else was out it showed on the paper where that's all they did.

the bottom two strut bolts ARE the alignment adjustment for camber. So if you replace the strut, you will need an alignment.
