Called up the indy that did my rear wheel bearing and asked if the bearing replacement had affected the wheel alignment and the guy said "no", and that whatever they did to replace the wheel bearing shouldn't affect the wheel alignment.

Only needs alignment if the tie rod end pin connection is removed. Forget what the rear is called. Maybe if the bearing had slop, but otherwise a bearing would not cause a need for alignment.

I did all 4 of mine.
