SPC toe bolt removal

Long story short I need to remove my rear spring bucket in order to change my spring mounts to level the drop (swift springs are too tall, autozone compressors didn't help at all, to remove by just taking out the hub bolt). Will I be ok if I just make note of the toe bolt and washer positions beforehand and reinstall them into the same orientation?


I'm hoping for a simple "yes, stupid question". But it's parts of the cars like this with specific positioning that I'm cautious about approaching. Thanks!

I guess you could mark it and then re-install it without a problem and it would kee you alignment....but if you are worried about the alignment being off, won't it change anyway since you are going lower? Not much lower but I'm just saying ...

Oh it's more about just having my alignment roughly in spec until I can take it in to a shop. I've never messed with a toe bolt before and just wanted to be sure it's as simple as I think.

Sure thing, I'll take a few shots tomorrow. The stance looks good IMHO, just a little dodge neonish with the uneven drop.
Thanks for the help everyone!
