Is it really necessary to re-align the wheels after changing your springs?
Hey guys,
Since I've never done this before I turn to the more knowledgeable of you to ask this question. I honestly have no clue whether this claim is true or just a myth. Your input is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. MBA |

Yes, but wait about a week before doing so. Let the springs settle a bit.

Doesn't matter even if you put the same springs back on. You've altered the position of the installed suspension and it needs to be aligned again, period.

I also took it to the dealer and they wouldn't even check the alignment since I had put on the lowering springs. They said that since the alignment specs were all different from the original, that they couldn't align it. |
