    I recently replaced both drive axles on my 88 Civic SE and I was
    wondering if I should get a front end alignment. Is it standard
    practice to get a frond end alignment after replacing the drive axles?
    Prior to the new axles, the car drove fairly straight and there was a
    little free play in the steering. After I replaced the axles, steering
    remained pretty much the same with a little more free play (the extra
    free play could just be in my head).

    TIA,
    Curt

    The Free Play as you describe it could be worn Outer tie rod ends or a rack
    and pinnon problem. any alignment shop will do an Alignment Check, May
    include a road test a visual tire and front end inspection.

    Older Civic has double wishbone front end suspension. There is no need for
    an alignment after shock change.
