Default new struts = alignment ?

I bought new struts, quick struts from Monroe, I had a alignment a year ago the car goes straight now after the new struts installed is it really necessary to have a front end alignment ?

New struts cause I had a strut bearing go out

negative. there is no camber adjustment in our cars if you put new struts in then your fine. however if you mess with the tie rod ends you will need one

Front or rear? The rear has no alignment typically..the fronts should.

since we are talking struts/shocks i have a question i noticed something dragging the other day when i looked at it it was a air line , i put the car up in the air and noticed also that the shocks (REAR) stay compressed and i dont hear my compressor for the air shocks the air line comes from the shocks to something that looks like a air valve where you can put air in and i did put air in it raised the car but lowered right back down i dont see where these go to the compressor i did see something else that looks like a air line but it is not connected to anything
