Are you saying it didnt feel out of alignment, as in after you were done, the car still drove straight and didnt vere side to side?? I just did 4 struts on my nissan, and i swear it felt perfectly aligned even when i was done on the testdrive.. Took it to the shop yesterday for the alignment and it was way out of spec. and now the car handles even better and the way it stands is just perfect... Well worth the $75!! Other than an alignment, the only other things you should have done at that time is wheel balance and tire rotaion if needed. My 117k mile nissan with new struts/alignment/ballance feels like it is brand new now.. Its amazing. Sorry not trying to jack the thread, but i just went through this too.

I realize this post isn't much fun without pics I'll try and get some this afternoon after my last class. I'm getting new wheels and tires in a week so I figure I'll just get that all mounted and aligned at the same time.

Yes but that does not mean someone else's suspension job is going to have the same results. Every job is different - you should know that.
