Need help installing Front Struts for 02 - P5

[Skeeter]

I need to know if you should have the front end aligned after you install the struts. Does it need to be done at the same time or can it wait a few weeks. Also if anyone has any info on how to install strut that would also be helpful. They are just stock struts, but would like a guideline or something, never done this before. All the help is appreciated.

Thanks

hey, you might want to post this in the p5 section.

as for alignment, I'm pretty sure you can put it off for a little bit, but the longer you wait, the greater the chances for uneven wear on tread.

Here is a little how to I did on the springs. Which is the same thing for the struts. It's easy.

Yes you need to get them aligned. You might want to wait a week so everything can seat properly.
