If I install turbo tie rods do I have to do a new realignment?

[JackT]

I just had my car balanced and aligned. Now I want to put turbo tie rods on the car. Will I have to have it balanced and aligned again?

You won't have to do the corner balance again, but you will need to set the toe.

Should only have to set Toe. (one of the alignment angles) , so yes they still have to hook up the machine.

If you lowered the car you may want to have it "bumpsteered" while it is being aligned. That process resets the relationship between the tie-rods, the struts and the steering rack. You probably only need to consider that if you lowered more than an inch or so.

AND yes, you need to have it aligned, but only the front and only the toe, so it should be fast and pretty inexpensive, assuming it was done right the first time.
