    Alingment During Engine Drop from Below

    Sorry if this has been discussed.
    My question is, if the engine and trans is removed from below. As per how the Audi dealer perform an engine drop.
    Is the front suspension involved, thus the front suspension will also require an alingment?

    I'm wondering, so when I take my S4 in for the timing service what to expect.
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Folks, 119 + views and no comments?
    I guess the question really deals with those that have their S4 timing service done already.

    Jake, any comments?

    if the subframe is removed, yes you'll need an alignment afterward ,since the position of the subframe is adjustable.

    034 motorsport solid subframe bushings remove the "adjustability"(they don't have adjustment slots) from the subframe, making it sit at the exact same spot every time you install it.

    Huh.......I'm installing the solid subframe mounts myself right now and didn't even think about that.

    Thanks for answering my question...for the times that I've been under the car, I thought that an alingment was involved too.
    As for the info on 034 Motorsports. I just surfed 034's website, it has lots of motorsports parts, even LSD' that most shops don't even carry.
