All:

Does anyone out there know if there is a way to tell for sure whether
the strut bearing needs replacement?
I am in the process of rebuilding front shocks and would like to do it
right the first time. I was once told by a Peugeot shop that it is rare
for Peugeot strut bearings to go bad; but if mine are bad how would I
know?

Also, once the rebuild is complete I will need alignment: any
recommendations ? (NTB, dealer ...?)

Note: the struts are still on the car; am still waiting for oil seal
kit to arrive before removing.

Would greatly appreciate some quick advice. Thanks.
