Lower Control Arm replaced, alignmnet check required?
 
Hello,

as title says, I've replaced passanger side lower control arm today,
do I need to get alignment check after that?

Thanks!

I would say yes. The alignment will cost less than a set of fronts.

My initial thought would also be yes, but not sure. Did you go aftermarket or OEM?

Installed OEM Control arm, I was thinking to get aftermarket (Febi) one, but decided to go with OEM since I didn't get any feedbacks of Febi
