Could going airborn and landing hard knock those out of kilter?

Going airborn and landing hard could knock a lot of stuff out of kilter. What altitude do you intend to reach?

going airborne won't knock anything out of kilter. it's the landing that will do the damage

Stock. Well, I've gotta get it adjusted after putting the M030 on anyway...

It wasn't funny when it happened.
PSM over-corrected after braking one front wheel while the back end was still in the air.

I am *very* happy to report that my friend, a very good Volvo tech, got the alignment back into spec without me resorting to the adjustable toe arm. I am *very* pleased as my new son's stay at NICU has gobbled up my discretionary car funds...
