Default after doing the caster arm bushing install

do you have to get an alignment? I just did my lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends but need to wait for the caster arm bushings. I'm wondering if it's OK to get an alignment now and just install the caster arm bushings when they get here without having to get another alignment afterwards.

Just wait until you have everything done. If your caster is off in the first place and you get your alignment done now, chances are, you toe and camber will change once you throw in the new bushings. If it's going to be months until you get the bushings replaced, then get the alignment now.

^^^thank you guys. I think I will be getting my alignment now. I want to get everything done now but I know it might be a month or so before I can get the caster arm bushings done.
