header install and alignment

[spederman]

I just got my car back from the shop today. Got a bunch of stuff in my sig done. I had bassani mid length headers installed and i notice now that my alignment is off and my car pulls to the right. When you do a header install, do you have to get a front end alignment?

Your shop probably dropped the K-member to install the headers. If it wasn't put back in exactly like it came out it would need an alignment.

your definately going to need an alignment, they no doubt dropped the kmember.

cool, thanks guys. just wanted to make sure it was normal to need an alignment.

Get some maxmotors caster/camber plates before the alignment, makes it alot easier.

when they do the alignment pay close attention to the camber settings. if one side is positive and the other negative by a lot, the k-member wasnt put back on square. there is some adjustment in the K-member and to get the alignment perfect, before adjusting with plates, the K-member has to be perfectly square.
