alignment after axles out of car

[clownface]

Im taking the axles out of the car. After i take all the arms and rods off the knuckle then pull that away from the car to get the axle lose will i have to go give my car a alignment after i bolt it all back together? and if i do, its just the Toe thast gonna be messed up right? cause the camber and caster are set at the factory and can only change if something bends or sumthing like that, or you get a kit...Is all that right? and if it is that i have to get Toe fixed, is ZERO Toe front and rear the best way to go? or should i go with factory specs...?

If you didn't mark anything with a marker or dye then yes, you'd need an alignment.

You can put everything back together and then take the car in for an allignment.

can you explain what you mean? what needs to be marked?

when i take it in for the alignment they can only do toe right? and i want that at zero front and back right? and my camber and caster shouldnt change when i do what im doing correct?

Nothing has to be marked as long as you dont uncrew the tie rod end , which you dont have to take off when u do axles,i did the same thing and i had no problems at all

This is the tie rod end right? So as long as i leave that in there i wont need a alignment?

If you even change the tie rod or take it out...you will probabaly need alignment. I had mine replaced and alignment was HORRIBLE. After I aligned it, it was good to go.

okay, Sooooo if i leave it alone it would not need alignment correct??

Correct. The threaded part on the shaft is what you'd use to adjust it. You can remove it and reattach it and still not need an alignment, but if you mess with the threaded part of the rod, you'll need to go to Firestone.

okay i think i understand, no alignment for me.
