Yes, a wheel alignment is typically needed when the front struts are replaced. This is because the replacement of struts can affect the vehicle's suspension geometry, potentially altering the alignment of the wheels. Proper alignment ensures optimal tire wear, handling, and safety. It's recommended to have an alignment performed after any suspension work, including strut replacement.
NO That depends on how the struts attach to the knuckle or control arm. On some front wheel drives an alignment is required.

To perform a front-end alignment on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the tires are properly inflated. Use alignment tools to check the camber, caster, and toe angles; adjustments are typically made at the tie rod ends for toe and through the strut mounts for camber. After making the necessary adjustments, recheck the angles to ensure they meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Finally, take the vehicle for a test drive to confirm that it tracks straight.
I would suspect a worn bushing in one of the upper strut mounts.
If a component was replaced If you see uneven tire wear . If you hit a big hole with the front tire ,once a year anyway.
To adjust the front end alignment on a 2002 S-10 four-wheel drive, start by checking the tire pressure and ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface. Use a camber gauge to measure the camber angles, and adjust the upper control arms or strut mounts if necessary. For toe adjustment, loosen the lock nuts on the tie rod ends and turn them to achieve the desired toe setting, then retighten the lock nuts. Finally, verify the alignment with a professional alignment tool or by taking the vehicle to an alignment shop for precise adjustments.
