thanks.
You probably should. I never did because when I took it for it's inaugural test drive, it steered straight and felt OK, plus I measured the toe on each side and it was pretty much even.

But then I check for uneven wear fairly regularly too (visual, plus feel) and would have got an alignment had there been any hint of scrubbing.

For the $40 it costs you though, it might be cheap insurance against scrubbing out $200 per side tyres. If you take it somewhere regularly, they may even just check it for nothing, or only charge you half if they don't actually have to change anything (doubtful though).
