I think it could make a big difference in ever getting a proper alignment. A difference in handling. Will you have to lenghten the steering column slightly? Just an analogy....If you were navigating a ship 2,500 miles across the ocean, and your navigation was 1 degree off, you would be hundreds of miles off course by the time you got to the other side. I would opt to be very accurate in getting that front crossmember exactly where it should be to save alot of other problems down the road. Just my .02
