Is an alignment needed after replacing the lower ball joints? I won't be unbolting any of the control arm bolts on the suspension, so I was thinking it wouldn't be necessary, but i'm no suspension expert!

Nope, not even if you had to take the LCA off.
It depends.....
Was your last alignment done while sitting on worn out ball joints or fresh ones?
I would drive it and see what it feels like and make your choice then.
I will be getting an alignment. I was going to change the upper control arms/ball joints using the adjustable cam bolts/washers and get it immediately aligned after that. I've ordered the lower ball joints and they haven't arrived yet, so I was wondering if I should wait until after both. I was going to change the uppers today, but I couldn't get the puller underneath the upper ball joint dust shield to grab on the knuckle unless I just break the plastic cover off. Anybody know the part number for the dust shield for the upper ball joints?
