1998 honda civic leaning to drivers side
Seems like my 1998 honda civic leaning to drivers side.. Some days more than others.. I like to get my lean on with my car but is this possibly the struts needing replacement? If I replace only the drivers side strut is it mandatory for wheel alignment? Also tire always looks lower on drivers side but has good pressure... Im assuming its the strut.. ??? What do you guys think?
When I jack up car to change wheels that is when my car fender will be almost rubbing my car tire.... But when I jack up drivers side to change tire and put it back down it straightens up a bit... Please post thoughts..

yes its advisable to get the allignment after the strut install as you took out the bolts on the struts and the knuckles. now on the allignment printout, you will know if something is bent on your car if you see the words SAI (steering axis inclination) and this is RED and the other side is all green, then it means you hit something pretty bad and the allignment alone could not correct it anymore.
in yuor case, i think your allingment is just off.
