Should a rear wheel alignment be done after replacing the rear coil springs on an 850. Is this necessary. I know it is for the front struts, but not sure about the rear springs.

Thanks

Replacing stock for stock? Or are you lowering?

Most of the time you won't need an alignment for the rear. The only thing you can adjust back there is the rear toe. Springs shouldn't alter that enough to be of concern.

Chris,
Thanks for the information. It is stock for stock springs, so I guess I'm okay.
