need alignment after new front driver strut?

Under an insurance claim my passenger front strut was replaced at local shop. Insane $400 plus alignment. Of course had alignment. Front driver side camber just barely out. Using camber bolt on passenger side for years now. Left the driver side this way since planned on replacing that strut myself to save $300. This weekend did replace the driver side strut myself with exact same Monroe OEMSpectrum same as passenger. Same as old struts. My guess is it probably helped stand up the camber a slight more. And the car is driving straighter as well. So thoughts on whether really need to get another alignment? My plan if I did was to have a camber bolt on hand if needed fr driver side but feels like tracking better now and it was just one tick out of range before. Very close. Exact same strut just refreshed with old one having 100k on it. Could this impact tow at all? If the new strut is firmer and the hub is in slightly different spot now. Thanks for thoughts.
