That's what a BMW master mechanic friend told me. Every time you change brakes and especially rotors, do an alignment.

Seems like this Master BMW Mechanic of yours is a good businessman as well. Alignment is never required after a brake job. I've been working on cars for 15yrs, done a few brakes in my life.

Hmm I've been doing an alignment every time after changing the brakes. No more. Thanks!

Another tip….clear those calipers and wheel wells real good while the wheels are off…very rewarding!

Is this correct? Having just bought a lightly used set of CCB should I order new bolts?
