I have installed 3 racks from Jorgen and would not hesitate to recommend them. As for alignment requirements, you can avoid the need if (assuming your Toe adjustment is correct now) by taking a reference measurement* on each side, with wheels in the straight ahead position. Toe is the ONLY alignment factor in play on a rack replacement.

* Measure from the inner edge of each Tie Rod End stud to a marked reference spot on the car body. Both sides should measure about the same, but that's not critical as long as you record the distance. Then, with the rack installed, connect the tie rod ends onto your new tie rods (that come with the rack) and adjust each side to your recorded dimensions.

Remember the tie rod lock nuts when you're done.
