Whenever struts are replaced, it is highly recommended to have an alignment and/or verification performed just for safety, handling and
reduce tire wear. Part of the alignment is checking the tracking of all four wheels.
The toe in/toe out part of the alignment is very seldom off after strut replacement. However, replacement of a strut may affect the camber position, although GM leaves very little adjustment for camber, its mainly what they call slop adjustment. Hope the info helps. Good luck!
