rear wheel alignment needed with new shocks??

I'm going to replace the rear shocks on my 190E. I'm wondering if an alignment is needed with new shocks just on the rear on these cars. Front shocks are good.

I'm not specifically familiar with the W201 chassis, but I've never done an alignment after just a shock change.

Correct, no alignment needed just due to the shocks.

Unless it changes ride height, then no.
