I have a 1970 Chevelle and am repacking the front wheel bearings. I decided that, as long as I had the hubs and calipers off, I’d pull the caliper brackets and dust covers so I could clean them up and paint them. When I removed the two lower bolts the spindles swung free and independent from each other. I have the brackets and dust covers cleaned up and back on the car but started to wonder if that little exercise could have screwed up the alignment. Logically, it doesn’t seem like it would since everything is bolted back in-place as before. I don’t have a ton of experience with this stuff so I thought it’d be a good idea to get input from those that know a lot more than me. I guess if the front tires are squealing and smoke is rolling off of them as I drive on down the road, I should have the alignment checked.

Thanks.

If the tie rods clamps have not been adjusted,and no shims moved on the upper control arm it should be same as before..
