Yeah, for what it's worth, I replaced my inner bushings, they cost me $12 at O'Reilly's and took me about 4.5 hours, with breaks and swearing, to get them in, and I'm an armchair mechanic. Bushing-only replacements SHOULDN'T need an alignment, but it's one of those things that if you've been driving on a shimmy for awhile, you'll probably want an align anyway.
I'd be sure to get a quote from a local mechanic as well that is NOT a dealer...dealers tend to have rather inflated pricing on their labor and parts, IMHO. Nathan Gabriel D.
