If you don't care about tire wear.

an alignment is not a must but is recommended after replacing them. measure from the center of the bolt (the one that holds the rack on the crossmember) closest to the side you are replacing and do your best to make the new one match the measurement.

an alignment is $60-$75, i get mine done at least once a year, no reason not to have it done.
