If the tech didn't screw with the tie-rods or any cam-bolts or any adjustment point for the alignment on your suspension for the bearing install then you don't need an alignment. Period.

 

i dunno for a wheel bearing it might be a good idea, they would have unhooked the tie rod and if it gets turned at or the adjusting nut gets changed your allignment will be off.

As far as wheels, that bullshit. allignement is independant of the wheels unless you are running 15s on one side 17s on the other. Think about your car sitting on a flat surface and then think about it on the same surface with 1" boards under each wheel. the suspension is going to be unaffected.

 

Anytime I replace tires I do an alignment, it just helps you get the most out of them.

 

You should get an alignment if you're changing/fixing/modifying the suspension, axles, steering.

 

The act of replacing a wheel bearing on a honda shouldn't change the alignment. That doesn't mean you dont need one though.

 

wrong.

even if the car drives straight, there are other factors in the suspension that wont cause pulling drifting shimmy etc that are immediately noticable by the driver.

throw it on the rack anyway.
