Both regarding the E46:
1) Is an alignment necessary after installing new shocks? What about after installing a strut tower brace (how easy is it to knock one of those three bolts out of whack?)
2) What kind of equipment is required to properly perform an alignment? The shop I usually take my car to says they can do it, but their shop is rather small (just two lifts), and I've never seen anything that looks like an alignment machine hiding in a corner.
