Wheel alignment

Do I need a wheel alignment after the installation of drop spindles. No other adjustments were made to the front end, no lowering springs, just 2.5 inch drop spindles. Thanks.

Re: Wheel alignment

I would, there is the possibility of slight differences in the machining of the parts. It doesn't take much to be off enough to cause tire wear, or even drifting/pulling.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

Re: Wheel alignment

You should get the truck realigned. When working on new kits I like to start with 5 different trucks, align them before and after. I compare the adjustments required before making the final part. What I correct for is the deviation I see from Chevrolet, Ford, etc. They do not build the trucks that well in the first place. So yes, get it aligned when your done.
