Default Alignment after swaybar install?

Tried searching and even feel stupid asking but Im thinking it would be needed if you replace a rear sway bar... I'm installing a different rear sway, but if I need to re-align I am going to wait until its time for tires as that's when I am changing alignment specs anyways. Input appreciated.

it depends on what parts were loosened in order to get it on/off. if none of the alignment bolts were touched you should still be fine. however its always good to get an alignment especially before some new tires!i replaced an axle and didn't touch any of the alignment bolts so i never got an alignment after that job.

Typically no, an alignment won't be needed. However, small changes can occur if your car was aligned with the sway bar preloaded. I don't think it's really much to worry about. I've never gotten my car re-aligned after a sway bar change, and don't recommend it to customers either.
