Balljoints and Alignment
Balljoints and Alignment
I'm redoing my front end in preparation to get an alignment since I couldn't before because my upper ball joints and tie rod ends needed to be replaced.
For future reference, will my alignment go bad if I replace the lower ball joints later on?

Yes, you will need to get your wheels re-aligned.

Re: Balljoints and Alignment (EnjoyTheRideDC2)
In all honesty- I wouldn't worry about it.
A bad ball joint is usually going to give you slop up and down- but in a static position on the alignment rack, it won't come into effect.
Tie rod replacement will need an alignment after for sure
...unless you're good at counting threads
