If your car tracks straight/true and tire wear across the tread is even/normal there is no reason to get alignment checked/adjusted.

Good luck/Bill
I completely agree with over recommended frequent alignments. If the tires are wearing normally and the car tracks well, leave it alone and save your money on unnecessary work.

Generally a suspension component has to bend to throw the alignment off and those parts are pretty tough. I'm not saying it can't happen, it just takes a lot to bend them, think hitting a curb with some force.
