    Curious and tanong ko na rin...

    Is it required/mandatory na magpa-align (wheel alignment for example) after changing suspension parts like shox, springs and etc.???

    I'm planning to do my suspension and was wondering what to do next? Any input from you guys?

    kung suspension works gagawin mo,you dont need an alignment,but,you need a camber..because of the different suspension,the wheels may not be at a correct angle to ground which may lead to uneven wear in either outer/inner thread of the tire..

    a camber job is much expensive than a alignment,but, a camber job mostly include wheel alignment..

    you only need a wheel alignment if you repair the steering rack or change tie rod/tie rod ends..

    once you replace it,its better to go to a reputable shop to have it checked..it free naman..

    be sure than soooorrrry..hope i'd helped

    better get that done ASAP, you wouldn't want to have uneven tire wear. San area ka ba? :D

    speaking of alignment...I just my shaft kit bolts changed. before I got the job done, my tbars were cranked up to provide more lift. But then after changing the shaft kit bolt today, my tbars dropped a bit. Will there come a point wherein once you lift your vehicle ,via t-bars, the camber alignment can't be done correctly?

Are alignments required after fixing suspension?
