Just replaced front shocks, do I need an alignment?
As the title says, I just replaced the front shocks, reused the stock springs. Do I need to rush out and get a front end alignment?

Alignment after struts
I work for a chevrolet dealer, and whenever i do struts on f bodys, ive never had to adjust the alignment after the install!!!!!! I always do an alignment inspection and the specs are always in!!!!!! So no your alignment should not need adjusting!!!!!

yes, because the camber goes negative when you put the car closer to the ground. ever see those ricer kids cut their springs and their wheels are angled in real bad and their tires wear on the inside edge. haha
so no you don't unless u touched the tie rod or lower control arm, or lowered the vehicles ride height
