I will be replacing the boge shock inserts on my car. Will I have to align the front end afterwards?

If you leave the camber plate/strut mount bolted in place and just undo the single big nut and pull the shock insert down out of the camber plate/strut mount. Jim |

No,however you will most likely need to adjust your ride height,I needed to as my car came out way to high after the change.

If you use gas pressure inserts you may have to readjust the ride hieght.
Non gas pressure inserts should not impact the ride hieght. None of the Boge inserts I have installed were gas pressured. Koni had both gas and non gas, Bilstein are gas KYBs are gas and terribly harsh. Jim |
