Mine needed alignment when I changed the wishbones. Get it done soon otherwise your tyres will be ruined.

Garage fitting it might have damaged an abs sensor when removing it.
Get the fault codes read, however you'll probably end up paying for a replacement even if it is a nearside one.

You need to have a wheel alignment done with any suspension work really. Would have thought the garage doing it would have added it on to the work.
