That being said, none of the bolts that are touched during a strut/spring replacement are alignment adjusting.
On the rear suspension that is done by the camber arms and lower control arms.



I've included some diagnosis sheets from the G35 service manual.

That was my thinking but I wasn't sure if jacking up the lower arm-thingy when replacing the shock would affect the alignment.

I guess I'm just wary of people / shops that are quick to recommend an alignment without inspection / replacement of bushings or alignment-related parts.

The "cups" in the rear were jacked up or held in place by this weird device that was about 4 ft tall as he was unbolting and rebolting the shocks.
