Re: Shocks and struts replacement on 2003 Windstar LX

"Alignment" is done only in one spot ... the outer tie rods. Because of the design of this suspension that is all that is needed ... it will correct "toe-in" and "clear vision". Of course alignment is futile if there are extremely worn components ... all repairs/replacements should be done first.

"Correction" can be done, to a degree, at the top of the strut tower ... this is sometimes necessary after a front end accident. Some correction in caster and camber can be achieved. For me, if this is necessary ... I would just scrap the vehicle!
