I would do a full suspension recalibration as you are changing the arms also steering recalibration and get these done before you have the 4 wheel alinement done, all the above can be done with a IID tool by yourself if you are confident doing itplease excuse any grammer/punctuation mistakes,i'm thick,thankyou

I didn't recalibrate the air suspension after doing the rear wishbones both sides (Polybushed, top & bottom swivel joints, new track rods etc). Did check the heights though afterwards and they were spot on. First job was to get a 4 wheel alignment check and adjustment done locally which was fairly quick and easy for them as all the suspension adjustment bolts had been replaced and copper greased. Cost £50 for the alignment & adjustment on a Hunter machine and they did it while I waited.
** Be sure either you-if you have the diagnostics, or they, put the EAS into "TTM" (Tight tolerance mode) before the alignment and adjustment is done and reset back to normal mode afterwards**Relocated to Mid France from N. Wales March 2021
