Alignment Needed After Sway Bar Install?
I've got a new rear 21mm sway bar on order for my C4. Will I need to have the car aligned after installation? I don't see how the sway bar changes the camber, caster or toe-in of the rear wheels. Am I missing something?

I sure hope not, because I disconnect/reconnect my front sway bar for every autox. I do have sway bars disconnected before corner balancing, however, just to insure there's no extraneous preloaded weight to any corner. As far as I know, connecting a sway bar does not alter suspension settings.

Terry,
You do not need a realignment after upgrading your swaybar.

Thanks for the quick replies guys!
My sway bar should arrive sometime next week. I'll probably install it next Saturday. I'll be sure to take lots of digital photos and post 'em here.
