when you install a strut bar, does it need to be real tight?? Does it affect alignment? I did mine and I was wondering.

i put it back on today, after getting the alignment. ppl here say that it does not make a huge difference, but after installing it, i can definately feel the difference. the front roll goes away. i am sure after driving it for a few days, it seems normal though. but cornering feels much better

I noticed it, and especially in comparison with my 05.
