How could it possibly change the alignment?

The answer is, no. Unless you start actually changing things that will effect the alignment (ride height, toe adjusters, camber adjusters if you have any installed) your alignment will be the same.

It will not change your alignment.

I think he is talking about when he removes the rear LCA bolt to hook up the tie-bar

what if you remove the whole lower control arm would it mess up the alignment? I had to do that to get the dam thing to align when i installed my tie bar

buy some coffee and latex gloves for the long install on this1

my lower rear tiebar took 10 min to install and made a noticable reduction in body roll

it didnt change my alignment at all, just made the ride stiffer in the back

always have someone with experience QC ur work

the shop didnt even charge me for the lift time since it was so quick

good luck with ur ride

How in hell did it reduce body roll?! It's not a sway bar, it's just a useless brace.

it cant reduce roll, only a roll bar can do that. it does however prevent some flex...i saw a difference when i put mine on.

yeah the lower tie bar doesnt effect roll or alignment in any way.. the lca inner bolt is just a staight pivot not like other types which have essentric bolts that adjust toe. i have jic front and rear tie bars and the steering response is noticably better, but roll is the same.
