How do you do a engine alignment after installing a cv joint shaft? What do I need exactly to do this? It is a 3.3 engine.
Thanks

I was told by someone @auto zone when I purchased the cv joints so that I could replace them that I would need to get a engine alignment, I have never heard of this before so that is why I am confused. Everytime I turn my steering wheel I hear a loud popping noise, I think that my cv joints need replacing. Any idea?
