Alignment After Rear Sway Bar Install?

Putting a H-Sport Comp. rear sway bar on my R56 and need hard advice about alignment after install. Is it needed or not? Can't find a solid answer anywhere.

No alignment needed unless you moved something you should not have. Take your time when bolting the subframe back up - center all bolts back to where they started.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! That subframe was the source of my worries. Besides blood loss, all I have to worry about now is when will the UPS truck arrive??

If you do the rear control arms you'd need to realign afterward.
