Do I need a rear alignment?

I bought my 04 TL about a year ago and was told I needed new rear struts but didn't believe it. Just thought it would need an alignment and hopefully it would fix the issue. Did the alignment about a month later and the tires still wore unevenly. On the inside. So I purchased new struts. Had them put on and was wondering if I needed to do an alignment or rear alignment? I had heard that it was not needed. Just thought I'd check with the Acura community. Thanks for your advice!

In my opinion, anytime you change a suspension part, an alignment should be done.

Get an alignment. Buy a lifetime alignment from Firestone or something. They use a good alignment machine. Bullshit with the tech for a few minutes while he's doing the alignment. You can usually get a pretty good feel for if he knows what he's doing or is a tool.

Installing new shocks won't change the inside wear, so have it aligned and have the toe set as close to zero as possible.
