If your spot welds on the plate on top of the tower have not been drilled out 
the position of the strut should not change when the nuts are removed and an 
alignment is unnecessary. If the welds have been drilled the strut could move 
when the nuts are removed....however, if you mark the position of the plate 
to the strut tower and not do anything to shift the strut position it 
shouldn't move. If it does move get it back to your marks as precisely as 
possble. Either scenario an alignment is probably not needed.   Bob 93 MTX
