Is an alignment required after the ball joints are replaced? I'm being told "no" by the dealership, but I don't buy it. My guess is that they won't pay for it as part of the recall.

The alignment should be the same as it was prior to the new ball joints installed.

had the same question i called the stealership and they said the recall doesnt say anything about alignment. You think it would my chilton said to have my alignment checked after new balljoints....

Your are not altering the suspension's geometry, so I would say no.

After thinking things thru that was what I decided as well. They are taking things apart, but as far as I can tell none of the work involves changing or disrupting the elements that control the variables in an alignment (toe, cast, camber, etc). I'll be putting a lift on shortly after getting mine done so I'll do an alignment then.
