I did have the car alligned after doing mine. However I was also replacing the track rod (tie rod) ends on the car. However if you very carefully marked the position you may be able to get them back exact. However over in the UK getting the tracking done is not that expensive, so its probably best to get it re-done, it will save on tyre ware at the very least!
