Default X-Trail 2005 - Wheel Alignment needed?

Hi,

I have a Nissan X-Trail 2005 and just got my front Struts, One mount and one sturt bearing replaced. Cost a staggering CAD 550 to do it with OEM parts. Do you think I need to get the front wheel alignment done?

It costs another CAD 110 and I would very much like to save this money!!! It handles perfect on highway (no sway to left or right). Does stut replacement change alignment on X-trail? Is it really necessary to get an alignment done? I only saw a toe bar adjustment for alignment, this did not chage at all - so am i correct to assume I am safe without doing alignment? - Pls. help !!!

It is not really necessary, but it is recommended. Replacing the struts does change the alignment a bit.

If you have new tires, then I do recommend doing the alignment just to make sure the tires do get damage. If the tires are not new, then you shouldn't do it and wait until you replaced the tires.
