offset rack bushings

[1991vert]

ok well i just installed eibach lowering springs and FMS caster/camber plates on my car and i know i need to get it aligned. my question is..if i get the car aligned and then put the bushings in, will i need to get it aligned again? or can i just continue to drive with normal tire wear?

I would put the rack bushings in first. I use Energy Suspension standard rack bushings.

are these bushings hard to install? :-\

(Define hard) Not really. If you did the springs and c/c's yourself, it won't be a big deal for you. DON'T get the offset ones if you have the stock K-member- doesn't matter if it's lowered or not.

they are pretty easy, of course i did mine when i put the springs on. so having the endlink lose was a plus. i have known a couple of people that did not change them at all and never had a problem. i was told by the guy that does my alignments to get it aligned right away then come back in around 3-4 months after the springs have had time to settle into place, so i would think if you followed that rule (which makes sense) then you could replace them at any time in between. i do not think they will make a significant misalignment. IMO
