When is an alignment needed?

[teemoney]

Last year or so i put on cut front stock springs and had an alignment done. Last week i took them off and put on h&r's. The front height looks about the same and mt steering wheel is straight, so do i need an alignment? My friend says since i changed struts, springs and sway bar link i should. If i need an alignment do i wait till my new 22 inch rims are on or do it now with my stock 18's?

every time you change a suspension part you should get an alignment. I would just wait till you get your 22's on if it isn't bad.

matters on the time frame. If you're going to wait 6months then get an alignment now

i'm getting my 22's next saturday. Will the alignment damage my 22's? Is there a difference if i do the alignment with my 18 inch stock rims vs my 22's?

Get an alignment done, I would do it before you put your new wheels on.

^^^will do. I'll do it during the week before my new rims are on

Wheels don't impact alignment specs so it won't change when you swap wheels.
