Can replacing shocks and struts fix an alignment?
Shocks and struts are more for the ride not the alignment. Tie rods, ball joints and how the front end is adjusted are the alignment. Jack the front end of the car off the ground. Grab the wheel at the top and bottom and see if it wiggles. If it does, that is the ball joints. Grab the sides and do the same. That is the tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm or drag link on rear wheel drive. Tie rods or the steering rack on front wheel drive. Having someone wiggle the wheel while looking at the steering linkages should let you see which part is worn.

When should ball joints be relaced on a 1998 crv?
Ball joints only really need to replaced when they are going bad. Usually you can tell if you put one hand on the 12 oclock position and the other on the 6 oclock position and try to wiggle the the tire. If it wiggles this way then ball joints are going bad. (Jack the vehicle up first). If you put one hand on the 3 oclock and the other in the 9 oclock position and wiggle it and it moves then the tie rods are going bad. If the whole tire moves in and out then the bearings are usually going bad. Hope this helps.
