My Avenger was in an accident and when I got it back from the body shop which is also the dodge dealership they had not performed an alignment, which I had been told was done. The damage was generally limited to the front bumper and radiator. They told me they could not align the tires without placing new struts because the struts that came installed from the factory did not have the necessary hardware that allowed for adjustments. Do factor installed struts on an Avenger lack this feature? Do the struts play a role in the alignment? They said there was no damage to the struts or any part of the wheels from the accidents (which I would tend to believe from how I was hit). The front end does not ride rough.
