Depends on what you removed... I just jack up the suspension and don't remove anything. WiggleWiggle

So changing axle bolt shouldn't require re-alignment, correct?

Default This is true, although I would only get an alignment if i noticed abnormal tire wear or pulling.
This is just my POV

Alignment Is not required but for the price of an alignment versus wearing out a set of 1,000.00 tires? I do it when tires are replaced as the car is in the shop anyways, I don’t have time to dick around with two separate service!

Replaced left outer TRE. Unfortunately it was not the cause of the play in the wheel.

What are some possible causes for an alignment to not hold? I just got one, but the car is pulling
