Stabilizer bar links, alignment necessary?

I will be replacing the stabilizer bar link on the front end of my G37. Is it necessary to get the car aligned after replacing the links? Thanks.

Nope. Just slap 'em on if they're OE-style. If they're turn-buckles, you'll need to tighten the bolts with weight on the wheels.

You might need jack to let some tension off and use some loctite on bolt so they dont loosen off

Decided to take my car in to an independent mechanic to replace the front stabilizer end links. I had the parts and was planing on replacing them myself but ran out of time. The mechanic did recommend an alignment but I opted not to do an alignment for now. The end links I went with are Moog regular style end links.
