Tension Strut Bushing upgrade; is alignment needed?
I'm replacing my tension struts with OEM F22 tension struts (not upgrading to the M4 ones).
Before the swap, I am going to replace the stock bushings in the new tension struts with Millway monoball bushings (link below). Question: Will I need an alignment after adding the monoball tension strut bushings? I'm aware alignment is essential when swapping the LCAs with M ones, and I've done that already. However, not clear if alignment is again required when swapping OEM tension strut bushings. Thank you! Bushing part link: https://www.millway.se/front-control...w-f20-f30.html |

It's not critical, but it's a good idea. The stock bushing has the bolt hole offset from the center of the bushing a bit, while all the monoballs have it right in the center so switching will give you a bit more caster than before.
