Moving the motor won't effect your alignment unless you hit/bent the rack, which would be pretty hard.

I bought some Prothane mounts, but I decided not to install them when I found out what was involved. My stock ones look fine and I have no issues with vibration or banging with the AR headers installed. Maybe down the road I'll replace them if necessary.

I had a couple guys helping me and we still had to use a 4' jack handle to pry the motor in place to get the bolt lined up. Zero fun.
