    Just replaced my front suspension(old man 883 90004). And took of the sway bar. Steers straight with no pulling. Also I scratch the bottom of the 90004s good during the install and was thinking of doing some touch up paint to prevent rusting. What yall think?

    It's a good measure to get an alignment when you mess with the front suspension components.

    Touch up paint won't hurt same with alignment . It may feel ok but you could be wearing your tires uneven . Its always recommended to do a alignment after a suspension change
