If I have the rear struts replaced, do I need to have the vehicle aligned afterward? One repair service has quoted me an additional $250 for 2 camber kits and an alignment while 2 others say I don't need an alignment. If an alignment MIGHT need to be done, what is the likelihood of this?

Hello,

You do not need to realign your car with the installation of new struts. Here is a diagrams that shows there is no adjustment needed. (below)
