you shouldnt need an alignment after replacing an axle. the ball joints on these cars has no effect on the alignment. as for the tie rod, if it has to be disconnected from the spindle (which isnt always needed) you aren't changing its position. the only worries you should have is the fact that you cant drive 70. hehe
NY State Trooper: So what makes your car so special to have SVT all over it?
Me: Er...It was made by Fords SPECIAL Vehicle Team?
