would taking off wheels ruin my alignment?

I know this is a weird question but I just got an alignment yesterday and I want to paint my brake calipers, wondering if it will set my alignment off?

Nah it won’t do anything. Unless you’re really rough with taking off your lugnuts or removing the wheel. You don’t usually get an alignment after every tire rotation, so you should be good to go.

lol, no, you don’t need an alignment for just taking your wheels off…

you would need an alignment if you did any major suspension work, such as springs/struts, etc…

HTH:cool:

not unless your putting on different wheels even then it wouldn’t be out to much though.

would taking ht tires off or lowering your a cause the steering to feel different?

I think everytime you changes something suspension-wise would change the steering response behaviour
