Alignment Question

[idunno417]

I just got 4 new tires (went from Diamaris to Pirelli Scorpions), question is...do I have to get an alignment after replacing all 4 tires? I also just got my CV boot replaced, is it necessary to get an alignment after replacing the boot as well?

No, and no.

BUT if you feel that there is something awry, then it would be prudent to get it checked out anyway.

Right. I would inspect the old tires to look for uneven wear. If you suspect anything then definitely get the alignment done.

Probably a good idea with tires or a CV boot. I had my alignment done with my indy after a CV boot replacement. Only an extra $55 so it is worth it anyways if it has been a while too.

Since our tires are so inexpensive, alignments arn't necessary.......WRONG.

Suspension parts wear, minor pot holes do their part also, and the agressive driving X5 drivers tend to do, I would spend the little it costs to do an alignment with every tire change.

Replacing the axle or CV boot, NO.
