Default Replacing axles=alignment?

I have a question about axles and alignments. I have a 97 accord LX. I just replaced both of my axles today and was wondering if that would have messed with the alignment any. I have 18 inch rims and tires aint cheap so i always have good alignment so why stop now. Anyone know if this affects the alignment?

Long as you dont move the adjustment bolt on the tie rod, the alignment shouldnt have changed.

it can mess with your alignment and sometimes it won't

with 18" wheels your alignment is pretty well out of wack anyway

have you ever had them give you the print out of what the alignment is? I'd be interested in knowing the numbers

When I replaced mine, it changed my alignment and for some reason my camber was off again...
