Just had the pitman arm and idler arm replaced on 1999 GMC Sierra. The steering wheel is now 90 degrees when driving straight. Mechanic said I need to take it somewhere and get a front end alignment. Is that typical when the pitman arm is replaced?

Believe it or not it was some flunkies at Jiffy Lube who did my safety inspection. I thought it was safe taking it there since they don’t do any repairs themselves.
