how would it need an alignment?
No idea, but heasmans steering in sydney reccomend a re-alignment after every change to suspension components

Minor changes in suspension dynamics..?
Could possibly affect a few other areas.. I guess it's not too bad an idea..

For the sake of $50-$60 id say worth it in the long run.

How long since your last 4 wheel alignment? Do you know what the specs were at the rear? Was there a bar fitted from factory or did you have to install the entire kit?
Without knowing this, it's hard to say if you'll need one/ should get one or not; but fitting a rear sway bar on it's own shouldn't require an alignment.

Agreed.
Not real clear if you're talking about a front or rear sway bar.
I replaced my 380 rear sway bar with a Selby heavy duty one, then adjusted it, then went back to the stock bar, and not once have I had any wheel alignment problems.
But front sway bar might be a different story.

rear, there was no OEM bar, so this has been fitted as a kit

fitting the sway bar wont have changed ur alignment.. if you've had one recently dont worry about it...
if its been awhile then not a bad idea to get one..
