I just got my front end aligned, but the mechanic told me that it will not be right until I get my ball joints replaced. Will I need another front end alignment after I replace the ball joints?

Yes, it would be wise to get another alignment, it will be close, but not as close as it could be.

When the new joints are on it will sit a little differently because they are new and not worn.
