Need to change my front lower arms (and replace CVs while I'm there, got a vibration when on throttle at 50+) - will replacing them knock the alignment out? From what I can tell there's not really anything adjustable there (besides track rod ends which I'm not touching), but I thought I'd better check...

HI, Should not need any alinment, had my changed on my other car and all good.

It would be worth getting checked afterwards. Your replacing worn bits with new bits with tighter tolerances and potentially slightly different manufacturing tolerances so the suspension might sit slightly different once fitted. Might not knock it out much but could take it out of spec.
