Theo,

A good point, as we all know the front cross members are prone to cracks,
sagging etc, when bolted to the car they will stay connected, once removed
if its no longer in true then it will be hard to get it back in.

There was some measurements a while back for the tower to tower and cross
dimensions to check the front suspension. The other thing is when the front
end is out its prudent to brace the shock woers and fulcrum pins.
