alignment after wheel bearing replacement?

[Drive Old Cars]

I am doing my front wheel bearings today and am unsure if i need top get a front wheel alignment when i am done.

Is it necessary?

Nope.

The only thing that is adjustable is the toe, unless it was off before, but otherwise it will be fine

Cool, thanks.

The new hub went on without issue, it took about 35 mins

Yep. You do not have to re-allign. However, if the bearing was bad for a long time, your tire might wear wrong on the inside and the car could pull to the side until the tire wears back to center.

Just an FYI

what he said.

You MAY have a problem but its very unlikely. Its good to know people will still shoot you straight and let you know ALL the possibilities

Alignments are pointless unless all things on the front end are in good shape anyway. Bearings, tierods, control arms, and bushings.

Just since this is a discussion about needing alignments. Ive ran into a few people lately who have shelled out for them, even with worn out components.
