    I have heard different things regarding this issue after taking off your UCA's and doing basic maintenance and putting them back in do you need a alignment. I saw a video of total chaos installation and cleaning of UCA's, and afterwards he said if you are just taking them out cleaning and putting them back in you don't need a alignment. Does anyone have any input on this issue.

    yeah rule of thumb i always thought was if you change or later anything that affects your suspension get an alignment.
