new tc rods, need alignment??

[Axel Grungy]

im going to be getting some new oem tc rods in the near future. does this affect the alignment at all when i change to the new ones?? cuz i dont want to have to get an alignment twice.

Any time you replace suspension components (bushings, arms, etc.) the alignment is going to change. Even if you put the exact same parts back on, the way you put it together (the order you torque the bolts etc.) make a difference in a way your alignment turns out. The difference may not be a whole lot, it may not even be noticable, but depending on how crappy the old bushings were may make enough of a difference. I'd have it realigned after the instalation.
