Do you always need to do a 4-wheel alignment whenever you install new struts? And the upper front strut bar has to come off too?

Bartkat · 04-03-2002

If you take off and replace struts, you need a front wheel alignment check. If you change rear shocks and or springs you need to check that alignment too.

As for strut bars, since they are attacked to the strut upper mounting bolts, yes the strut bar has to come off. Of course you can put it back on when you are done with the strut job.

Took pics. Hope to have them up sometime this evening.

For the adjustment on the rear shocks, I was having trouble bending or cutting away the metal that was in the way of the knob. So I had this idea to do the next best, and easier thing. I cut the top of the knob down so it is now just the size of the Koni logo triangle and it fits fine. It's not that hard to turn so don't need that big knob.

Looks good. How do you have the shocks adjusted for the best ride.

Bartkat · 06-26-2002

For overall and interstate driving I have the fronts turned 180 degrees toward firm and the rears set on full soft. If you have big speakers or other extra weight in the back you might want to turn the rears to 180 degrees toward firm.
