I just changed my rubber mount, top cap and sock absorber for the front.. Do I need to do alignment? The mechanics didn't mention anything about it.. But I got this feeling here's may be a slight drift to the left.

Where you change yours and how much it cost? Just did my 130k servicing at Autosaver and saw the crack for absorber and lower arm joint. Mounting cap also crack. Mechanic recommend to change all 4 at the same time. Was planning to drive to KL this public holiday and was told it will fine just dont drive too fast.

Did my 120K at autosaver and had my absorber changed by them, they supplied the bush stopper of something that is the rubber thingy on the front suspension. Bought my at KYB at Waterloo Centre, Chop Aik Huat, for $360+gst, Autosaver charge $150 for Labour. Please go for 4 wheels alignment after changing.
