Icon3 Alignment + Blown Axle

I recently blew the CV axle on my EP3 after installing full coilovers. I'm going in for a 4-wheel alignment tomorrow. Will the blown axle affect the car's alignment?

My alignment is a huge problem right now and the car is barely driveable. The axle will have to wait until next week when I get the time.

I have a scheduled alignment tomorrow, so I was wondering if a blown axle would affect the alignment process.

It shouldn't affect the alignment.

However, when the axle is replaced, the parts removed an reinstalled could very well throw the alignment off again. I've never seen a mechanic not recommend an alignment after changing an axle.
