Default Halfshafts and Strut rods Question

Guys, I'm replacing my halfshaft ujoints tomorrow and also have new poly bushings for the strut rods. Now my question....If I put a mark where the existing camber is set and then replace the bushings will I be close to my current alignment once it's bolted back up? Figure I'll be getting it realigned anyway after it's done. Thanks Doug

If you are replacing the bushings in the spindle (camber) rod, it really doesn't make any difference since there are bushings at the adjustment end of the rod. All the books tell you to mark the adjustment before you take it apart. If you don't need to drop the inner end of the rod, I prefer to unbolt and drop the outer end, to save, even touching the adjustment. I guess if you are going to have it realigned, anyhow, it really doesn't make any difference.

RACE ON!!!
