I had to take the rear knuckle out to get the wheel bearing out, its own story. It's connected to the suspension at 4 spots, all of which I don't think effect the alignment as they are not eccentric bolts. I've attached the diagram with the bolts removed circled. I feel like everyone here is going to say "when ever a suspension bolt is removed an alignment is needed", but these bolts (and ball joint) are just regular bolts that went back in the same location.
On the upside if I need an alignment I can go ahead and take the front knuckle off to replace that bearing, which will require an alignment. The bearings had 220,000miles on them, in New England.
what are your thoughts?
Thanks

If none of those bolts are adjustment bolt, or have play in them, I'd bolt it and run it! I've never realigned, even after front end work. I just mark everything carefully.
