Will Removing the Front Strut Bar Throw off My Alignment Settings

MR Bilstiens and Hotchkis Springs. Probably a stupid question but will removing the front strut tower cause my suspension to move at all?

No...not unless you have camber plates and somehow mess with them in the process.

If you have camber plates...I think it will if you take the strut bar off when the car is jacked up and the wheel is hanging... it will throw it off some

Need to work back near the intake manifold, removing it will give me more room and then I'll put it back on.
