I apologize in advance for there probably being another thread like this.
Probably a stupid question, but I am wondering how soon after replacing my front struts and all new wheel bearings that I should get my car aligned. I just got new tires, so I am a little paranoid. I am planning on doing the repairs at home in the shop on a weekend, but I have a 3 hour drive back to where I am working an internship which is where I would get the alignment done during the week. Is this driving too far with potentially bad alignment?
I have also read places that it is good to let the new struts settle for a while (about a week) before aligning. Note that when I say strut, I mean the pre assembled ones with new springs and mounting plates with the spring already compressed and installed in the assembly. Thanks for any input.
