Just a quick question:
Car goes in for alignment tomorrow
Should i remove my front&rear spoon strut bars before taking it in
They are non adjustable
Will they interfere with getting the alignment/tracking done....

This may not help, but my front strut brace was fitted when mine was done

How would they be in the way? They are adjusting alignment from under the car....

As ratty says all the adjustment will be done under the car.

Cheers for the replies - i just wanted to double check as it goes in tomorrow morning and i dont want anything to stand in the way of it getting done right. Its been fairly tedious and trying getting the front end sorted out to my satisfaction - its actually been years in the planning

seriously it had better be worth it
Its going in to CLCM at Sighthill in Edinburgh - was there last week but they could do the front alignment as they said front tie rods were too corroded to adjust.

Its so straight forward. You should have an alignment everytime you change tyres.
I do on my van every 6-8months or so when i change tyres.
They just bang on a laser to each wheel and aim it at the machine in front. Then adjust the toe, camber and caster.
However on my van you can only adjust the toe.

Takes 15mins.
However on the Prelude i want a full fast road wheel alignment by a specialist.

Not on the 2WS, but there is on the 4WS.
