Wheel Alignment

I am gonna buy new tires for my dad's 96 plymouth voyager. The rear suspension is a beam setup with leaf spring. My question is, does thi kind of setup need a wheel alignment? I dont want the mechanic to sell me a 4 wheel alignment if the rear wheels dont even need one. Thanks for any replies.

When they say 4 wheel alignment, its a vague term. It can be aligned, there should be a 4 bar or some other mechanism to align it straight to the road, but beyond that, there's not much you can do to it.

There is no adjustment in the rear of a 96 Voyager.

They will still charge you for a 4 wheel alignment even if they can only do 2. They charge you just to get on the rack.

The rear wheels are adjusable with alignment shims, but installation is additional.
