lowering the F. swaybar messing up alignment???

hey guys, im just wondering if droping the front swaybar will screw up my alignment.

i have to lower it to get my blower on and off. and ive got to take the blower off to do a plug wire change.

i didnt think it should affect the alignment, but its kinda felt like its out since i did the plugs and wire change.

thanks fellas

No it shouldn't mess up the alignment, however.... if theyre torqued funny (uneven, too much, too little) they can cause some noticable "weird" feelings with the steering on turns or ruts on the road. Sometimes it'll go away once the bushings work in again.

thanks toby. i didnt think that it would cause any changes in the alignment, but i just thought that there may have been something that i wasnt taking into consideration.

i think its about time for some new bushings anyway. i probably get some and have an alignment done just for good measure.

thanks again.

I noticed my car handled "weird" after brand new bushings for the first few turns. It went back to normal fairly quickly
