Alignment needed when swapping brakes?

[TwiceSHOwn]

When installing 96 brakes (spindle swap on a 93 back) is an alignment necessary? I have heard it both ways.

Yes, since you are basically disasembling the front suspension. Especially if you are disconnecting the tie rods.

What about after doing it on a 94/95? No spindle or knuckle replacement necessary there. Just the caliper bracket, rotors, and pads.

It isn't necesary if you are JUST doing brake work.
