Why do you need a front end alignment when replacing struts?
A front end alignment is necessary when replacing struts because new struts can alter the vehicle's suspension geometry, affecting wheel alignment angles.

Additionally, a misaligned vehicle can lead to further suspension issues and reduced ride quality, making alignment a crucial step after strut replacement.
