wheel alignment and FSTB

Haven't gotten a wheel alignment in ages. Should I wait till after I install FSTB or do it before. Are they connected somehow, would it matter?

The FSTB shouldn't make a difference at all.

But as a rule of thumb, if your going to get something professionally done, i.e. take it in for an alignment, it would only make sense to put the bar in first then get it. Because if by some freak of nature it did make a difference, you'd be getting aligned twice then.

I'd put it on before an allignment. Then again, when I put a FSTB on, it did nothing to my allignment.

the only way it would matter is iff u drilled your mounting holes bigger to have slight adjustment of camber

Just install the FSTB with the weight on all four wheels. The only way you could make an FSTB affect your alignment is to have the front end lifted on a jack, and it's unlikely that you would install it in this situation anyway.
