will installing the clunk washers affect alignment settings???

I ordered the clunk washers but apparently there were some shipping issues and I don't think I will be able to get them before my appointment on Wednesday. If I get the alignment (since I am installing the Roush suspension kit) and then install the clunk washers, will I screw up the alignment settings? I really wanted to put these in but.....

there's a good chance it could, since the clunk washers will center the lower rear A-arm bolt in the dead center of the slot, and most likely if you've got the clunk right now, the bolt is probably against one edge of the lower a-arm slot and not in the dead center.

best bet is to just reschedule the alignment for after you get the washer in to be safest, rather than notice some uneven tire wear down the road from the alignment being off after fixing the clunk

it will in a small amount. you are only putting the clunk washers on 1 lower control arm bolt. you should be alright. but if you can change the appointment

Lots of alignment places will check them for free. Call them and tell them what's up and they might throw you a bone.
