I dont remember. It was a couple years ago. When the guy at some local shop mentioned it a couple weeks ago I told him it had already been done and he gave me his song and dance about how it isnt a one time deal. I tuned him out as soon as he mentioned it so didnt pay attention to if/what he said would be necessary. I suspect he just wants to up the bill but that is why I asked. If it was only 20 I wouldnt care but Im not paying close to 200 for an alignment. Im only doing it for good measure and to straighten my steering wheel anyway. It doesnt pull that I can tell but we have high winds that skew my feel test.
