Changing anti-roll bars should not affect your alignment - unless, you were really yanking on the suspension, or removed control arms, shocks, etc. when installing them.

How do you know that your alignment is off?

laser eyes .... agreed simply bolting on a sway bar will not affect any settings on aligment.

after installing the front sway bar, the car is turning to the right by itself ... don't know y ... the steering wheel is actually turning (a lil bit) ... some times when alignment is off, the steering wheel is straight, but the car is turning ... but in this case, when the steering wheel is straight, the car goes straight ... but i have to hold the wheel there, or else the car will turn to the right ... pls help

Sounds like you may have installed the bar with some preload while even sitting still. I'd go back and double check your installation, with particular attention being paid to the endlinks. What bar did you end up getting? Also, make sure the bar is centered.
