1. A system comprising:
a vehicle suspension component having an alignment hole extending between a first side and a second side;
an alignment pin having a first flange, a cylindrical press fit surface abutting the first flange, and a threaded extension extending from the cylindrical press fit surface, the cylindrical press fit surface being configured to be press fit into the alignment hole of the vehicle suspension component;
an alignment pin sleeve comprising a sleeve body with internal threads configured to mate with the threaded extension, a second flange at one end of the sleeve body, wherein, when the alignment pin is press fit into the alignment hole of the vehicle suspension component such that the first flange abuts the first side of the vehicle suspension component, the sleeve body of the alignment pin sleeve is threaded onto the threaded extension until the second flange abuts the second side of the vehicle suspension component, thereby preventing the alignment pin from falling out of the alignment hole during use.
