The shop says it's standard practice to get alignment with rear wheel hub replacement (passenger side) is this true? I've found mixed reviews, it seems as though you don't have to. What do you think? And they are charging $150 for labor and $90 for alignment, they wanted $250 for part but I bought it online for $35.

nope. swap and thats it.

no, as long as you're not disrupting the relationship of the strut to the knuckle you don't *need* to align.

What they both said. The wheel bearing has no effect on alignment. Sounds like a shop looking to upcharge on a job.

It's never a bad idea but it isn't "standard practice".

Standard practice if you are trying to overcharge your customer. LOLOriginally Posted by blackspike2710
You would only align a vehicle if you replace a part that changed the alignment, or if the customer requested one.

If its standard practice after a rear wheel bearing then it is standard practice to do it after a brake and rotor job since a bearing job is only a few more bolts at that point.

Don't forget to get an alignment after rotating your tires.

I didn't read your last sentence until now, but you are going to regret your $35 wheel bearing choice when it fails in a few months.

That's a frigging crook shop. $250 for a hub? BS. Good ones go for about $114 to $156 in local stores.
Sorry to say it but a $35 hub will fail by the end of summer.
