Offset rack bushings...New alignment needed after installing??....

[1993SSP]

I lowered my car with FMS B springs, had the front end aligned and the bumpsteer is aggravating as hell! I got offset rack bushings to fix the prob, do i need to get a front end alignment after this? I was thinkin it may affect the toe, thanks!

Yes, you will have more toe out after you put them in.

When I had FMS "C" springs I installed the baer bump steer kit to correct the problem of bump steer. Later down the road I had to replace the heim joints on the baer tie rods, which I was confused to why they would wear out, anyways the shop that was working on the car replaced the rack bushings with offset rack bushings to help acheive a certain angle of the tie rods? Whatever that meant! Supposedly they talked to Baer and they told the shop to go with the offset rack bushings! To make along story short, the offset rack bushings made the car more twitchy than before. After a call to Maximum Motorsports and a trip to a different shop, MM aluminum center-drilled rack bushings, and Steeda X2 balljoints were installed and the problem was fixed!

I'm no expert on suspensions, but in my case they only made the problem worse! Give Maximum Motorsports a call!
