I just installed a new (front driver side) wheel hub and bearing assembly- do I need an alignment? I had to disassemble the axle, strut, lower control arm and steering link from the steering knuckle; but I did not alter anything else. The steering rods did not get removed or altered, just the nut holding them to the knuckle. Thoughts? Every component seems to have a fixed position and bold holding in place. I was thinking I did not need an alignment..?

Thanks

Probably wouldn't hurt to at least get it checked.

If the car does not pull one way or the other when you let go of the steering wheel driving on a level road I would say not need for an alignment but doesn't hurt to have it checked out.

i would definitely get an alignment

you can still drive 'straight' with significant toe-in or out

Yes, you should get it aligned.

I agree with the previous post. Your car may still drive straight with significant toe in or out. Plus the caster and camber may be off too. Why waste a good set of tires. Plus, you will have poor traction in snow and rain, trust me.

I know that but you only did the drivers side wheel so you might have different alignment from one side to the other.
