Alignment after end link replacement?

This past weekend I've replaced my (2) front compression rods, (2) front lower control arms and (2) front tie rods. I plan on replacing all 4 of my sway bar end links this weekend. Obviously my car is in need of an alignment now, but I was wondering if i should get it aligned asap or wait until after I replace the end links this weekend?

Changing your endlinks has zero to do with your alignment, won't make any difference! Hope you bought some quality endlinks like Power Grid, even with OE bars the adjustable endlinks will make a difference!

Thanks Gary! Yes I am anxious to get this sucker aligned since I will still be using it for my daily commute. The alignment is definitely waay off. I just bought MOOG brand off Amazon and hope they are ok. I only plan on realistically having this car for a few more years, has ~165,000 miles on it.

I'd get an alignment first if you can't wait.

I ordered Moogs as well for my other cars and some of them come with zerk fittings, so make sure you have a grease gun. Unless, they were pre filled.

Yeah I have it scheduled tomorrow at the Nissan dealership where I bought the car near my hometown (only $52! With coupon). The closest place to where I'm currently renting wanted $95. So I figured I'll just drive 45 minutes to the dealership I bought it from.
