Title: Wheel realignment - must after rotor change?
Post by: cjkannan on October 27, 2010, 06:47:42 PM

bros,

need advice if I should go for wheel realignment/ balancing after the rotor change.

I recently changed to a new rotor plus brake shoes and not sure if I need to do the above. is it a must do or only do if any problem?

thanks

Well that actually depends. If you were present during the installation and oversaw the whole process it's up to your judgement to decide if the integrity of the steering column etc has been compromised. In my personal opinion, you need not do a realignment unless you have a camber kit, then you may need to check the camber angle.

Digressing; did you install an aftermarket rotor?

ok. thanks for the feedback.  yes I I stalled after market kit 285 rotor and I am happy with it in terms of  response. the installer is also of the opinion I need not do realignment. just wanted to double confirm.
