Greetings --
From a theoretical standpoint, on a double-wishbone style front suspension, is it true that you should not need an alignment after replacing the dampers/struts?
Based on the geometry of this suspension, the strut assembly only supports the height of the suspension. Of course, any change in ride height (incorrect reassembly of the spring, or a shorter spring) would affect alignment, but if one is replacing OE with OE, I am under the impression that this should have no effect on the vehicle's alignment.
Is this correct?
Thanks.
