tie rods

I just had outer and inner tie rods replaced on my 2002 2 wheel drive F-150. (Both sides) My question is should I have an alignment done or would it be ok?

Agreed. Check the ball joints first though...

wouldn't checking the ball joints be a standard thing to check when replacing tie rods?

I've got 92,000 on it so I guess I got my dollars worth out of the original set. This is the first front end work that has been done on tis truck since I bought it in 2002.
