It has already been done. I'm assuming the alignment is not necessary as I didn't mess with any alignment bolts.
Either way, thanks for the links and info.

Oilboy123,
This is for a '99 Nissan Maxima, the same vehicle that was referenced in the original post.
Sorry it was past my bed time...I realized after reading my response that it sounded smart alecky where I said "for an intelligent answer". But I was not trying to be.
With all the people on the board I am surprised nobody has answered that knows this. Some cars adjust the caster and or camber at the top of the strut. Then some adjust at the steering knuckle near the wheel bearing. Some are not readily adjustable.
Is this for a project you anticipate doing or having done. Or did you already have it done....?
Should be easy to find out which type you have? Looks like it adjusts at the steering knuckle......It could probably be done without messing with the alignment bolts.
