If that is off, the caster or camber settings will shift... also, your toe settings aren't preserved once the LCAs are unbolted from the subframe. There is a lot of slop in those holes.

Everything *might* be just fine, but I'd get an alignment with a printout.
Yes, & nothing sucks worse than trying to "eyeball" your thrust angle w/o having an alignment rack. Hell, if I have to drop a subframe, I make as many alignment marks as I can before so much as spraying down the bolts with PB Blaster.
