I am going to replace my coils (front and rear) as well as shocks on my 1985 Buick Lesabre Collector's Edition. Do I have to take the car in for an alignment when I am done? The replacement process involves removing the front stabilizer and loosening the control arms to slip the front coils out. Also, one sales rep during a quote mentioned a rear alignment (for what reason I do not understand). The only thing holding up the rear end are the shocks, coils push down and keep tension. Nothing else makes contact except the driveshaft. If anyone has knowledge or experience, please post and list your experience/how you know the answer. Thanks.
note - they are 4 way shocks, not struts. Front shocks mount seperately in the coils but are NOT struts.
