i am debating if i need alignment now
or
after putting on front and rear sway bar

do i need alignment after replacing sway bar ??

 

i wouldn't think so. but since i go through firestone(lifetime unlimited alignments) i would so do it for the heck of it.

but i don't think it is necessary

 

no alignment needed after swaybars, at least from my previous experiences. correct me if i'm wrong though.

 

I have installed swaybars on a s14 before and after install you should get an alignment. It pulled to 1 side. i don't know why but it did for me.

I guess it's really up to you.

 

i wouldnt get one.

 

if you're looking at it in terms of maintenance, absolutely not. sway bars do not change the static settings of the suspension, unlike lowering or replacing components that adjust roll center or caster.

if you're looking at it in terms of improving your suspension setup, more camber in the front is always a good idea, especially for fwd/ awd. i have 2.6 degrees on my other car with no problems as far as wear is concerned. if you have no intent on tracking the car, but enjoy an occasional on/ off ramp, you'll be pleased with 1.5 to 2.0 degrees or so.

other than your car having high mileage and just requiring periodic maintenance or you looking to improve your car's turning ability, don't shell out extra money to get it done.

 

THX FOR THE INFO...BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT SWAY BARS ...NOT CAMBER KIT

 

since you raised you car up a little bit you should get it aligned

 

damn, so after you go over each speed bump you need to get an alignment?

 

he obviously mentioned sway bars.

 

camber is part of what you do when you get an alignment. 2.0 or thereabouts of camber up front, 0/0 front and rear toe.

 

no smart ass.he raised his ride hieght by adjusting his coilovers so he changed the front end geometry

 

If you raised or lowered your Fit with your coils I would...if it was just a swaybar install you should be fine.

 

easy does it tiger. he says on his original post he put swaybars on
and asking whether to get an alignment or not. where do you see
anything about raising the height?
