Install the front in reverse order.
When you are sliding the new strut up get the top studs threw the holes in the body and start one to hold the strut
Then push the knuckle down and line up the lower part of the strut on the knuckle. A punch works great to line up the holes.
Hammer the strut bolts back in and tighten up the nuts
Then tighten up the top plate nuts.
Reinstall tire.
If your car drives straight after doing your struts I would not worry about an alignment. If you have any pulls then I would. You can save money on camber bolts by grinding the top hole in the bottom of the strut to widen it out a bolt width on each side of the whole. That will allow for enough movement to adjust the camber.
