Alignment?

I just finished installing front and rear sway bars along with the panhard bar, trailing arms,springs,struts and shocks. I drove the car for awhile and I noticed that it needs an alignment. Now my question is will I need an aligment after I install the front end rebuild kit as well? I got the front end kit from Spohn.

Yes, after changing the front end components you will need another alignment.

Well

That all depends if you touched anything involving an alignment. Unless your touching the idler, pitman, or tierods the answer should be no. Hell even ball joints don't affect alignment we always sell once because 70 percent of the cars on the road are out anyways.

What else is left in a front end rebuild kit?

Please, enlighten me.

Depends

Is he talking about new sway bar links and control arm bushings. It all depends on what "kit" he speaks of.
