Probably not an issue.  I am assuming, of course, that when you rotisserized 
the tub there was no weight on the suspension.  When sitting on the wheels the 
weight of the car can cause the shock towers to move and the bar will anchor 
the two towers together canceling out the tendency to bend in towards each 
other.  On the rotisserie the weight is carried at the rotisserie mounts, not the 
suspension so it is likely that the towers did not move.
