I disagree. Toe will not change, and camber is not adjustable. I have taken off my spindles several times and noticed absolutely no driveable difference in alignment. I havent seen any signs of uneven tire wear due to alignment either.

in the interest of saving money I will try this out when I change my driver side spindle. In my case my camber is very adjustable (D2s with camber plats up top).

then, the only time an alignment would be needed is when your put on new suspension, or adjust the height of your suspension (coilovers). Aside from that, any wheel bearing, spindle swaps, axle changes, etc you wouldn’t need an alignment?

Did you chnage the races when you changed the bearings? I find alot of people don't do that. If you don;t your looking for a problem. No yu do not need an Alignment. I guess if you wanna spend the money and have the peace of mind, Sure go ahead. Otherwise I wold not waste the time.
