so i purchased the pedders front radius bushings and i know that i need a press to take the old oem ones out, but my concern is do i need an alignment after this install?? Thanks

From the factory, those bolt holes are round. No adjustment can be done. I installed those myself as well, that is how I know. Pedders does offer eccentric bolts that you can make it adjustable if you want. You just have to slot the bolt hole and install the new bolts.

Short answer no, there is no factory caster adjustment at the radius arm so as long as the new bushing was made correctly it shouldn't change the length of the rod

Yea i just want to know if i removed the whole arm and then alignment got messed up

You dont need to remove the arm. Did mine a month ago and it took about 45 minutes. You notice them more when at highway or freeway speeds, no slop in the steering and you turn the wheel back and forth and the car follows
