Funny thing...when my control arm was changed, I watched the whole process. Everything was supported, and was told that an alignment afterwards was a must. Had it done right after the change and no problems at all afterwards. Maybe I was just taken for the alignment, but seems that it was appropriate. I went back and checked the Haynes Manual and you are right...nothing about a "have to" alignment. All it mentions after a tie-rod end replacement (nothing about control arm replacement and alignment) is to "check" the toe-in and make adjustments as necessary. I guess after the porcedure, if the car drives fine (no pulling) then go for it. Sorry if I mis-lead you.
