Any truth in this about RSB?

A friend tells me if I put the RSB in I will need to get a thrust allignment because my allignment will be off. Is this true?

Hmmmm, lets see. If he is talking about the rear wheels being aligned..... Ask him what shop he knows of that does a rear wheel alignment on the Maxima. This would test hist car knowledge.

Hint: you can't align a rear beam setup.

I know that. He claims with out the additional sway the alignment of the thrust of the car willbe off. As I understand it there are two types of allignment, the kind where all wheels go straight or thrust which alligns to the way the car thrusts out from a stationary position.

There is absolutely no truth to this. I have no visible feathering of the tires resulting from the alignment being out.

RSB in a Max has no effect on alignment, indeed, no effect on most cars.
