Re: Front end alignment

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're correct, assuming the geometry of the disc spindle is exactly the 
same as that of the drum spindle it's replacing, and also that the face of 
the hub where the wheel mounts is held in the exact same place. Otherwise, 
your alignment will change. So the real answer is, most likely your 
alignment will still be in spec, but it may not be spot on where you'd want 
it to be.
