Since the upper ball joints are part of the upper control arm it is a good idea to have an alignment done.

I agree, an alignment would never hurt!

i just done my upper and lower's and you need an alignment because after a day or so it pulls really bad. just be safe and pay the 38.00 for an alignment.
