Do you need to get an alignment after you install a larger rear sway bar? I know you're supposed to after a new front sway bar because you drop the subframe, but I don't know about the rear.

 

you should be fine with the rear without a new aligment since youre not removing any critical adjustment bolts... its just the sway brackets and the sway links...

 

You should always get an alignment after messing with the rear suspension. But the question I'm still trying to figure out is WHEN. Springs/Coilovers always have that "settling" time frame, and I don't know about other ones. But yea, you should get alignments when things have to be unbolted.

 

Unbolting endlinks and swapping in a stiffer swaybar would have zero impact on the toe or camber settings as far as I know. The whole idea of the swaybar is that it needs to have some play and will center itself where it needs to be.

It makes sense you wouldn't need an alignment after a rear sway bar upgrade. You don't mess with a whole lot during the replacement. But a front bar, definitely. Thanks for the info.
