Default Need an alignment after?

I will be replacing my upper and lower balljoints next weekend along with the center link, just wondering if I'll need to get an alignment afterwards?

It depends, if you are putting in new camber bushings then its a good idea.

Personally I would.

May as well if I'll be taking them out anyways, thanks

Never had to get an alignment done before, hope I'm not looking at spending a bundle(in my area)

Its like 40$ at my shop. Alignments are fairly inexpensive, its just the work thats needs to be done is where it gets pricey.

Stock camber is about 1 deg positive to compensate for front sag and suspension travel.
