suspension work after wheel alignment

[ascaro]

i just had 4 tyres replaced with alignment ,i need some suspension work done car bouncing .does it mean i need another wheel alignment after suspension work

Depends on what is done. If certain parts are replaced with new then yes you might

If I read correctly, your car bouncing means the shockers are stuffed.....

Answer, yes replacing the front shockers on the Statesman (providing that is the car we are referring to) will require another wheel alignment.

The bad news, the place that did the alignment, shouldn't have done it with stuffed shockers, providing it was the fronts....They should have mentioned to you that they were stuffed and asked you if you wished to proceed with an alignment, with the advise that an alignment would have to be done upon replacement of the front shockers.

got the 2 fronts struts replaced,then took it to get tyres and wheel alignment,the back is next ,can it be done without a new wheel alignment thanks

Yes, the rear is fine, without the necessity of another wheel alignment
