new strut inserts… need alignment?

Just finishing replacing 100K mile Boge inserts with Koni sports. I also removed the old rubber camber bushing and replaced it with the included rubber inserts. The camber plate was not touched.
Do I need an alignment?

Thanks!

I expect the camber bushing you mentioned is actually the bump stop on the shock shaft. camber,caster and toe should not have changed because the insert was changed you didn,t move the top mount so I think you are correct no alignment needed.

If you replaced the old rubber in the camber plate, all the new rubber will do is prevent the strut from moving as much. So, as long as the camber plate is in the same spot, you are fine alignment-wise.

Thanks! That's what I thought...
