Do i need an alignment after I replace my upper stut mounts?
I am doing a lot of rebuilding and am going to need an alignment after I am done. I am planning to get some upper stut mounts later when I get more money, bit nay do it now so I dont have to pay for another alignment.

It's always recommended when doing something like that to have the alignment checked after replacing suspension/steering parts. Check with the shop you are getting your alignment, some offer warranties and will fix it until you are happy. So you could get one, then mark the strut mounts' positions, replace them, and have the shop check the alignment and fix it under warranty.
Some people could call that fraud, but they'll usually at least check it for free. Just a thought.
If you don't have an alignment when you change your upper strut mounts, all of your caster and camber can be out of whack.
