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.
