The upper mounts probably need to be replaced and tearing things down to replace just the mounts later would not be much fun.
The upper mounts and shock inserts can be replaced with no change to the alignment or toe-in. Toe-in is the only thing that has an adjustment provision. Replacement of control arms or control arm bushings should have the toe-in checked/adjusted.
An survey of the tie-rod ends and ball joint boots would be a good preliminary for a DIY job. Dealer probably has these things at hand.
Some nuts are considered use once and discard, but many reuse with loctite. So many DIY folks only need the strut inserts and upper mounts + thrust bearings.
