LoL, no... make sure you bleed the break lines though, starting with the front left i believe.
edit, nvm.. they are already on. Wasnt paying attention.

Yeah, not because of the bakes, for sure. However, maybe it needs done, like Danny said. Depending on the last time the brake lines were flushed, I'd opt for flushing the system with new brake fluid, esp if it's never been done (six yrs on brake fluid, eek).

Wait what is going on with the brake lines? I thought we were talking about an alignment. Anyways Volvo recommends flushing your brake fluid every 30k unless your car is 03 and newer then it is every 37,500. If you are going to bleed your brakes start at the RR then LR, RF and LF.
