Alignment after rear strut replacement?

[Brian777]

I just did the front struts and replaced them and did the alignment. Now i was wondering if i did the back struts also, would i have to get another alignment done? Don't want to have to dish out more money for that again. Does replacing them mess the alignment up or will i be fine?

Thanks

Rear end of the Corolla has a limited about of adjustment. When I did my struts/springs - I didn't even need an alignment (TRD springs - mild drop). If you'll need an alignment or not will really depend on the car. Especially the case if you have e-bolts in the rear (or cam bolts). If you stick with a well known strut - so fitment is good (OEM are KYB struts), then you can minimize the possibility of needed an alignment. Call around different shops - some can check the alignment for free (adjusting the alignment is where they charge you).
