Rear shocks

How much to replace the rear shcoks and do you need a alignment when you do replace the shocks?

260E , 1989 (for now)
rear shocks (original type) are close to $100.00 each.
Labor: about 1.5 hour total to replace by a shop who knows what they are doing.

An alignment is not necessary. You only need one if you replace the suspension links.

FYI, the shock brand is Bilstein.
