I need new bushing for the rocker arms for the steering. Question is, do I need to realign the front after replacing the bushing?

Good morning,

Yes, after replacing the lower control arm bushing it is necessary for the front end to be aligned.

It is always best to have it done after any front end replacement of parts to be sure the tires get maximum wear over time.
