After I replace the struts and/or springs on my Protegé, do I need an alignment? Is there any way to avoid it?
An alignment is highly recommended whenever any suspension parts are replaced. However, if you will not be able to align the car immediately after replacing the springs and/or struts, mark the position of the top of each strut in the strut tower and put each strut back in the same position when you reassemble everything. This will ensure that you don’t radically readjust the camber and caster (see above). © 2001-2006 Edwin Man et al. All rights reserved. No part maybe reproduced in any format without permission.
