After replacing the pillowball bushings, do I need to get an alignment? (this is where the Firestone lifetime alignment comes into play)=P

No. There is nothing adjustable about the pillowballs themselves (assuming you didn't remove the lower link from the car) and so replacing them won't bother the alignment.

OTOH if I had a lifetime alignment and had just done some major suspension work I would go have it done anyway All they have to do is put it on the rack and see if anything moved.

You shouldn't need an alignment unless some of your bushings were so loose that they were "sloppy". Like Damon says, if it's free, I would get it done anyway
