Default Front Strut leaking

One of the struts in the front was found leaking during last service and will be replaced under warranty. Just want to see if the AHC fluid will need to be bled too? What about alignment after strut replacement?

AHC should be bled...add to that recommended mileage for AHC fluid is every 120K...I cut that in half.

I'd also get the alignment checked.

Not sure about a 2015, but for 2016 and newer the AHC fluid should be changed every 60k miles.

How many miles on your LX570 when the strut failed?
