Replacing Sway Bar Bushings: Do I need an Alignment After?
Title sums it up. My sway bar bushings are on their way out. Gonna replace them with these Energy Suspension Bushings.

Will I need an alignment after the install?

What about when replacing the entire sway bar? I dug up one at the junk yard last month and will be installing it next weekend when I clean my brakes. With the end links attached to the LCAs it seems more prone to affect the alignment.
