Phil & Robert

Thanks for the replies, a couple of further questions.

If you take off the strut removing the track rod end with the correct tool and removing the ball joint pinch bolt etc, why would the alignment be out, as far as this dim brain can work out non of the settings will have been altered on re assembly. Which settings will alter?


Thanks so far for your help

		Tough.

		If it's just been done (properly) then all of the adjustments will have
