I am NO expert on alignment issues with cars, and this is a question that has bugged me. If you take the tie rods off for example to install new steering rack boots, do you need to have the car aligned again? I need to change my boots as well on 16851, and the car just had a 4 wheel alignment 6 months ago. Straight as an arrow when driving. I'd hate to mess that up.
