Eh...yes of course front and rear are separate
. But if you are going to do an alignment anyway on one I would do all four since the factory settings are not 100% and after some miles the car "settles" and measurements change.I did a four wheel laser alignment on mine after 6000 mi and even camber on left/right front was deviating a bit as well as toe...I did track settings on mine and now it is bang on!

According to the FSM the shop would only need to readjust the end that was dropped and sometimes it doesn't even recommend doing that. No need to do both. If the repair is done correctly there is little change and a simple tweak is all that is required. My 15 shop manual indicates that even with a transmission R&R where everything from the muffler tips to the bell housing is removed doesn't require a realignment. When you think about it as long as the UCAs are mounted with the same number of shims between them and the frame, the lca cams aren't moved and the toe adjustment cam didn't move why should the alignment change.
