When changing a ball joint on a vehicle some say you need a front end alignment and other say you don'tDo I?
yes, any change in your suspension system will require an alignment after. besides you need to disconnect tie rods and lower control arm during the repair, something may move slightly during the repair and even though you may not see the effects now you probably will in 10k miles on your tires. so you neeed to ask yourself the question, for the price of an alignment do you want to risk your tires wearing out before they should. hope this helps.
