Alignment will cure it...no worries

LKNDC · 09-22-2007, 06:35 PM

Is that normal if so why does that occur?

Spool · 09-22-2007, 07:00 PM

This happens frequently and, like Spool mentioned, can be solved with an alignment.

The lights (which are triggered by suspension configurations) typically come on when the front spring/shock assembly is removed and reinstalled.

Does it only need a front end allignment?

Get an alignment, after you change out the shocks.

yo chow, i've read all the threads of coilover vs. springs, and i know your position on them, so please, help me out instead of replying with something that doens't answer my question.

Chowbow · 03-07-2008, 04:57 PM

I was answering the OP's question actually, wasn't referring to your question.

Whenever you get an alignment, there's no point in only doing the front... just align everything. It's like only having sex halfway.

*permanently ignored*

anyways,

i did a complete 4 wheels alignment and ALL the errors went away!

Chowbow · 03-07-2008, 10:27 PM

Well I guess I don't need to post advice for members here if it'll get ignored.

SantaClawz · 03-07-2008, 10:30 PM

haha. its just a blank line. i love this feature.

just4kickz · 03-07-2008, 11:03 PM

chowbow says to get both front and rear aligned... probably smarter to do this as you got all 4 springs replaced by the new springs anyways. i'd do realignment after any suspension work... just safer to do it.

Hmm... this means he doesn't know if I'm calling him a douchebag...
