Alignment & Suspension

If i were to get new springs/shocks would i have to get my alignment redone?
My car was in an accident a while back and they replaced the passenger side spindle, they supposedly aligned the car but it still pulls to the left, is it possible that the accident damaged some components that makes it impossible for it to be properly aligned? Thanks

yea I would get it checked again... you could have messed up your rack and pinion though and no matter how many times you check the alignment it won't ever be right. How much play to you have in your steering? Grab your steering wheel with two fingers and the car off and try to turn it back and forth very lightly to see if there is any play.

This isn't true for everyone, but I just put new shocks in and it didn't affect my alignment at all. I would take your car in to check though since you feel its off.
