if the LCA and tie rod adjustments remained the same, and camber changed, it could minorly affect toe. You could think the steering knuckle as a triangle... if you held the bottom and side corner in the same position and moved the upper corner a little bit, the triangle would face a slightly different direction
I hate alignments lol
Also, if before you change out the strut assy, mark circles with sharpie or white-out around all the upper mount nuts/bolts and the knuckle pinch bolts, when you put it back together, put it back in the same position and you should have the same specs as before, unless you were changing out something that was bent
