Default Question on removing camber bolt


If i draw a line on both sides of the bolt thst goes onto the control arm and remove them, if I line my marks up will the alignment specs stil be how they were before I moved the bolts?
I am gonna remove them to install the 4 point chassis brace.

Your are correct. Making a mark for re-installation is the recommended procedure (see attached). However for your case, the chassis brace will increase the overall stiffness of your suspension system and alter/minimize how your front end settles. A wheel alignment is strongly recommended.

With all of the mods and money you are spending on the suspension for this car I would have thought that you would simply get an alignment when you're finished with the project...

I am deffinetly getting an alingment done no worries there, I have to travel 40 mins away one way to go to this race shop to get an alignment, so I dont want my car to be to out of wack if that makes any sense at all.

I dont know about you guys but were I live it is very hard to find someone who can do an alingment properly. Also no project is ever truly finished when it comes to cars haha
