NO
That depends on how the struts attach to the knuckle or control arm. On some front wheel drives an alignment is required.

you should have a 4 wheel alignment done
yes
Parts and labor, aprox $500 to $600 plus a front end alignment.
The struts themselves will cost around $80 each. The labor to install them plus a front end alignment will depend on where you have them installed. Expect to pay around $300 to $400 total.
Out of alignment or bad shocks or struts
When replacing struts, ALWAYS replace them in pairs.
I just got quoted a price of around $500 for front struts and alignment along with labor. I think they said the struts themselves were around $119 each. That initially seemed excessive to me but have done a lot of research online and talked with a buddy of mine that owns a Honda. We both came to the conclusion that $500 for struts and alignment and labor for a Honda Civic EX is probably in the ball park. Hope that helps
hou to replace rear struts

Yes
The tires have nothing to do with alignment. The car could be aligned with the scalloped tires. They are scalloped from bad alignment, shocks, struts or damaged to the front end. An alignment in itself may not fix the problem. There may need to be some new parts installed before the alignment. You only need to replace the two scalloped tires. A four wheel alignment can be done with new ones on the front and old ones on the back. Rotating them at some point will not affect the alignment.
