Got some work done on the car (4 shocks/struts replaced, passenger upper control arm/ball joint and cv axel, and front sway bar bushings). Mechanic is advising me I should get an alignment done since the replacements could alter it.

I don't know too much about alignments other than the steering wheel should be straight 😁.

Is it really needed? Seems to handle fine.

Yes, it's needed.

You don't need to do it, but expect to wear our your tires faster.

No don't do it if you don't give a shit about your tires, your car and your own safety.

👍 Thanks 😁

Recommend shops?

Just to note, I have my winters on which are 16” but my stock size is 18”. Will that matter?

Went to KSL once when I was in a pinch, haven't gone since. They are the cheapest though so they got that going for them.

Hopefully that price does not dictate the type of service/experience.
