I just installed new Moog balljoints on my stang. the car handles fast corners and bumps much better now.

Need to? No. Would I? Yes, just to make sure the tires wear evenly and everything is where it is supposed to be.

If the ball joints were bad, the alignment would have been out. Whenever you put new suspension parts (ie, tie rods, ball joints) you need an alignment.

im getting new tires in 2 weeks any ways, plus the car drives straight as an arrow with no shakes, so i think i will hold off. seeing as my tires are already nice and worn, a little more wear wont hurt them.
