Depends on if the rear struts have adjustable towers (top of strut) or adjustable lower control arms,or vertical strut rod, if no adjustments were moved, you shouldn't. Some struts have a elongated hole where it mounts to the rear wheel spindle, if so ,Yes. Most are fixed and other then bending things, not much you can do.

Short answer: yes, you do
Strut replacement changes the alignment angles.
If you have rear struts, you have Independent Rear suspension; therefore you need to re-align your vehicle.
Have a qualified technician inspect your car to determine if struts are required.

just mark the old strut and put the new one on where the mark is.where you bolt up the strut,draw a line around ,where the bolts are and when you take off the old strut you will have a pattern where you put on the new one.
