View Full Version : Wheel Alignment Necessary after install springs? bassit 10-04-2003, 01:11 AM Hi i was told that i would require a wheel alighment after i installed my springs... is this true? did any of you did not do alignment and everything was ok? cheers :) MikeV 10-04-2003, 09:44 AM yes. any suspension mod/refurb, and an alignment is always a good idea. jamin325i 10-04-2003, 10:20 AM re-alignments not needed for oem strut and spring replacements. nydog 10-04-2003, 09:34 PM yes MikeV 10-05-2003, 03:50 AM Originally posted by jamin325i re-alignments not needed for oem strut and spring replacements. i disagree. after removing/reinstalling suspension components, the bolts shift a bit, thins change slightly, thus an alignment is not un-warranted jamin325i 10-05-2003, 10:48 PM don't know why you think that but it's your call. ~vo328~ 10-09-2003, 11:24 AM Originally posted by MikeV i disagree. after removing/reinstalling suspension components, the bolts shift a bit, thins change slightly, thus an alignment is not un-warranted I definitely agree with this. After any major suspension work, it is best to have an alignment performed. UD///M 10-09-2003, 08:58 PM If you change springs you will need an alignment. If the car is lowered, the toe angle will change. Camber and caster can and most likely will change but those are "generally" non adjustable. The rear on the E36's can be adjust adjusted for camber. |
