Replace Struts - need alignment? [solved]
When replacing the front struts, does the alignment need to be re-done because of the change to the suspension components?

Re: Replace Struts - need alignment?
struts, yes
double wishbone, maybe.
hondas changed to struts at 7th gen, so your case, yes

they are called "struts" because they are structural. So, alignment changes when you remove and install. Geometry changes
