No accident, just had the dealer replace the Dunlops and debating if I should get an alignment. The steering seems to be straight and true. Do you guys think I should have the alignment done?

Thanks for the advice. I think I will pass on it for now. Is it true we need to get the cars with active steering aligned at the dealer? Also, what is the recommended mileage to get the alignment done?

Maybe I'm wrong here but I've never heard of any recommended mileage for an alignment. You would only get one if something changes with your suspension geometry such as, again, lowering your car, or hitting something that knocks it out of alignment. My last car was a stock Jetta that I drove for 75K miles and never had to do an alignment.
