Turn-in Spacers
Turn in spacers, bump steer correctors, tie rod spacers, what ever you call them, do I need to re allign the car after I install them. I have a set that has literaly been sitting on my shelf for 4 months because I wasn't sure and I'm too cheap to go get another allignment. If anyone knows it'd be great. And they are 1.5" spacers if that makes a difference.

Maybe Bwaits will chime in and answer this one.
Too much interpretation in some of the reading that I have done on this.
Here is a link of interest.

Depends on the style. Are they straight through bolt mounting or do they bolt in from the bottom and the top?
Straight through bolt style should not change the toe very much if any.
The Ackerman correcting versions that bolt in from top and bottom will certainly change the toe, they require modification to the tie rod center stud in order to be used.
Now with either version there will be some tolerance in the mounting holes. That means the parts may bolt up slightly different each time rendering slightly different toe settings.
