Actually, the way it looks he just took the middle section out -not the ends that have to have the strut bolts removed to take the ends off. Thus, even if he did move/drive the car with the middle section out it would still retain the proper alignment with just the center STB bar removed.
Ding diing diing We Have a winner folks...Johny what does he get

Its a castor issues, the really isn't a lot for castor adjustment on these cars... As long as the car has sat in one place the castor will not be affected... And in most cases most places usually will not adjust castor on these cars, It usually falls within specc if memory serves... I have seen cars that have no castor adjustment at all.... I think W bodies are like this as well as the 2000+ bonnevilles..
