Mike I'm not sure I completely agree with you on this. Ideally, yes the critical dimensions that would affect alignment would be the same and it should be just a bolt on.
I've seen too many stock spindles with either the top or bottom bolt ball joint stud hole drilled a little off or even the tie rod hole a bit off center. I'm sure they were well within factory tolerance and in no way unsafe, but it would defiantly affect the alignment of the vehicle. With after market spindles chances are they may even hold tolerances closers, but who knows where those specs are compared to the units that are being taken off.
For no more than an alignment cost, it good insurance .
i agree it never hurt to check. :cool:
