Yes. The strut tower is used to adjust the camber angle of the alignment so any time you take this loose and reinstall it, you need to check the alignment to ensure it is not out.

I attached the process just to illustrate this. Clearly we don't want to try and adjust this if it is not connected to an alignment machine so this is something that that we need to have performed.

Let me know what questions you have. Thanks
