rack replacement?

do I have to bleed the rack or anything like that after I replace it? Does the car need realigned after I replace the rack?

We replaced our rack and had to bleed it, you should've received instructions on how to bleed with new rack. We replaced our tie-rod ends; counted turns taking old ones off old rack and screwing in new ends to new rack exact number of turns. This got alighment pretty close to where it was. But we had it aligned just in case.

you should have it aligned just to be sure it's cheaper to have an alignment done than to replace 2 front tires be cause the wore out the inside or outside of the tire
