Is it neccesary to get an alignment after installing these ?

Absolutly. Most strut/spring combo needs alignment. Dont need to ask make/model as a quick strut always needs alignment. They are easy to put on even for a beginner. Good Luck and let me know if there is anything else we can help with.

Not really required. If the vehicle drifts or pulls then it should be aligned. If your steer wheel is straight and it goes straight down the road all you have to da is watch and ck the tires for feathering. there is no adjustments on the strut to help the alignment

strongly recommended when replacing the front struts- not sure if its needed when replacing the rear

In simple terms, absolutely yes. When you change the front end parts, you always get an alignment to make sure everything is right. Struts are no different. I got one when I put mine on and it was evident it needed it after replacing them.

Yes. I did it a couple of months ago so I don't recall exactly what it was. If you look at the Jet web page and download the manual it's in there. In my case the 'precision alignment' from the factory wasn't too precise. It was, however, a relatively quick fix (<1/2 hour trial and error with a straight edge and wrench).

Yup, check the forums for install help since these come with no instructions.

I didn't have this problem. Maybe double check to make sure they were installed correctly.

U need to measure the screw holes up with these. And reference the ones on those.

Inside the handle on the side where the orange button is. Just look at the plug and the receptacle and the alignment will be obvious. After

Yes as a matter of fact, mine were shipped horizontal and I had to turn them vertical. Just take care while you're turning them so you don't break them off.

Yes. Truck had never been aligned but I assume it was required due to new struts. Rancho recommendeds alignment. Most shops will check and only charge if alignment is required.

They do line up but the alignment is super testy. Tighten the first screw (doesn't matter which one you start with) just a little bit to start. Then go around to each screw doing a little bit at a time until they're all tightened. (Like you're changing a car tire) If you tighten one too much it'll throw off the alignment of the other holes.

did you align it straight? tilting works but it must be straight. I also had a factory tow package and just had to plug it all in. if you had to add wires,(other than a extension) you might look there.

I am a computer dinosaur and afraid to install without the recommended alignment tool. Do you know where to get one from a reliable source that has reasonable pricing so I can buy your safe lock kit and install it properly? Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.

purchase and install this unit, you will find that these have intermittent issues, if you have problems replacing it be sure to just "you tube it" you will find how to do it AND pay attention to orientation

I had no problems with the alignment when reinstalling the filter. I did however have a problem with DE coming out into the pool after bumping the filter down. This is a problem not yet resolved.

No. Check all your bolts and make sure they are tight. If you put used tires on make sure they are balanced. And make sure you get an alignment done after install on this kit

Yes, I actually have mine installed that way with no problem.I think they look better that way.

Honestly, I'd ask Wheeler. I'm sure that is not what you wanted to hear but I can say Wheeler gave me excellent and quick customer service when I needed to replace a set of alignment bars. Give them an email- they will know best.

You may need to adjust them. The back brackets may need to be moved slightly left or right. And make sure they are level.
