Well, I just got robispec'd 3 days ago with the basic suspension package and alignment.

But, Robert advised me to remove my tein upper pillow ball mounts in the rear and switch back to stock due to ride height issues (teins made the car stand taller in the rear)

So, to remove the rear strut, I need to drop the lower arm - no way way of forcing strut out as clearance is too tight.

I know the bolt closer to the body controls alignment, but does the bolt closer to the hub affect alignment? Can I undo it and let it just hang off the top bolt?

Please advise ASAP, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

 

Per Robispec, it does not. But, was unncecessary to remove. The swayabr was loosened and gave me the room I needed!

 

if the height of the car has changed you want to realign it

as far as unbolting trailing arms at the hubs you shoudl not need to
