Alignment
1. when you get new tires. = At least have it checked.
2. after wheel/tire rotation = At least have it checked.
3. after getting new wheels = Have it checked.
4. after changing the height of the vehicle. = With lowering springs? Yes it's a must.
5. after changing suspension parts (i.e. sway bars, bushings etc etc) = Yes.

Don't know if you guys have Firestone in your area, but they offer lifetime alignment and rotation for 100 bucks. I go and have my wheels aligned every 3k miles and such.
