Alignment after replacing sway bar?

Hey all, may be a stupid question, but should I get an alignment after replacing my front sway bar? I picked up the ST bar. I need to remove the tension rod brackets to remove the old bar, and I知 worried about everything being lined up when I知 done.

Also, I have the T3 tension rods and lower control arms, so my toe shouldn稚 really be changing since I知 not loosening the rods. The only variation should be from the amount of clearance in the tension rod bracket bolt holes.

Use an awl and scratch marks around the bracket and you may be able to get away with no alignment. Tension rods mostly affect the caster unless really way off.

Thanks for the gut check, this is what I was thinking as well.
