Default Chanigng caster bushing=new alignment?

Can anyone please let me know if changing this part would affect alignment? I am changing the ball joints/tie rods right now (have it disassembled) and I am going to do the caster bushings later on. Just trying to figure out when to do an alignment.

Thanks for the advice. Think I could change the ball joints and tie rods (using the nut to keep alignment) and wait awhile do the caster bushings and then get an alignment? What are my chances of keeping it close? Id hate to do an alignment x2 and id also hate to ruin the front tires. I also really rather not do the caster right now, it just looks like such a pain in the ***.

I did my ball joints and tie rods and lower control arm and 2 weeks later did the control arm 2 that has the caster bushing it it. My toe was WAY off and I did everything I could to make sure the tie rod was in the exact same place. I used Moog tie rods so I am thinking they are slightly different dimensions from stock.
