control arm replacement

I need to replace the lower control arm on my 2006 C230. Will I need to do a wheel alignment after? any other tips?

I have the maintenance DVD - I should be able to print out the instructions for you. Pretty sure that you won't need an alignment.

Why does it need to be replaced, if you hit something then yes you should have an alignment
