Is it required, to avoid funky steering, to have the car realigned after doing strut work?

Theere is NO caster ajustment on 850s, so strut change will not change alignment - simply, there is nothing to adjust after changing struts.

Techinically speaking....No. However give the car a drive with the new struts and see if the alignment has inadvertantly shifted. If so, then have a re-alignment.
