Would I have to have my car realigned if I replace my front struts myself? I am assuming I would not because my manual says nothing about loosing the adjuster sleeves on the tie rods. Can anybody help me?

Hello,

Yes you will need a front end alignment. You won't be messing with the toe in and out but you will be messing with the Camber/Caster alignment.

Thank you for your input. I will not be trying replacement on my own. Not confident enough with removing springs, etc. Sears Auto gives free install when you buy four. Now just have to worry if all the hardware might need replaced. Thanks for your time!
