Do I need to do alignment after installing these?

Any time you change a suspension part it is a good idea to check or have a professional check your alignment.

I believe once they're set in the mounts, there didn't appear to be an adjustment. Possibly, they mount in a pre-set position. Mine seem to be aligned satisfactory. Hope this helps.

Hey, the strut in question is sold 1 per package so order two, always replace both sides at once, as for the side they with fit either side and they are also self aligning, so there should be no need to perform an alignment after installation, for the money they are a decent replacement i would buy that brand again, good luck.

I don't really think it did. Because I didn't have to remove the tie rods. But I did take it and got a front end alignment . I also replaced the sway bar links the alignment was only 50 bucks. I saved like 60 bucks by getting these parts on amazon verse the part store so I figured it would be worth it.

Yes, They should work fine. I had an HHR and they only took ~ 20-30 min/side and no re alignment

Short answer is "Yes". Anytime you replace suspension or steering components for that matter, always have an alignment done.

No. One is all that is required. If you install one on each side, you will have problems aligning them so they work in sync.

No but you need an alignment after 3 months at least for my car I needed one after

Yes. They slip into the two channels on each side of the fan. Alignment was not perfect for what we had but worked and was the only solution available other than replacing the fans.

When I installed mine, I aligned one side, screwed it in, then pressed/pushed the other side into place and screwed it on. They should flex to fit. Not the best pair I've ever had. The adhesive doesn't even work for it, but cheaper than the $300 pair.

Yes. I had the same issue. I centered them when I placed them. They worked out great.

I purchased this part but got my mechanic to install it. He did not complain and it look properly aligned, so I am assuming he did not have any issue putting it.

No you should not have to get an alignment after instillation. Unless it needed one before the change or you mess with the stabilizers, anti sway or ball joint arms. To avoid needing it even after that stuff you simply mark with paint -I steal an ugly or old nail polish from the Mrs.- the nuts and threads before removal.

If you purchased them from the same Amazon dealer I did, they will never align because they are defective merchandise which they are peddling to anyone fool enough to trust them. They are bad news and Amazon will refuse to arrange a return and refund with them. Caveat Emptor.

Just did. You will need to apply some pressure to get them inserted. Just please be sure to align them properly before inserting.

You may need to adjust them. The back brackets may need to be moved slightly left or right. And make sure they are level.

They do line up but the alignment is super testy. Tighten the first screw (doesn't matter which one you start with) just a little bit to start. Then go around to each screw doing a little bit at a time until they're all tightened. (Like you're changing a car tire) If you tighten one too much it'll throw off the alignment of the other holes.
