Ok, might be a dumb question I'm a little confused and need some help. While lowering my rear coilovers, I loosened my toe bolts (the bolts located at where the spring bucket pivots) a lot, almost until they came out then tightened them back up when I was done. By doing this could I have changed my toe spec at all?

 

Lowering your car you screwed up toe, loosening the toe bolt you screwed up toe. Both ways you need alignment.

 

I lowered the car only one full turn of the adjustment collar so I wasn't at all concerned about the toe and camber change from doing that but didn't think about fcking up the toe with the toe bolt.

So then my next question is how can you do anything involving lowering the spring bucket without messing up the toe? I loosened it because the spring bucket wouldn't pivot around that bolt when it was fully tight. Is the only way to mark the location with a sharpie and then try your best to get it back to the same spot?

 

I just hold it down with my foot, but an easy solution is Whiteline bushings on the arm. On customers cars i never undo the spring bucket on the inner points unless im installing aftermarket toe bolts.

 

get some rollcenter adjusters. but yes, it does sound like you messed up your alignment.
