This is a timely discussion. I asked Mat DeMaria to do a alignment and he told me it was a waste of my money until the worn out bushings are replaced. I can imagine there are a few mechanics in the area that would just do it because the customer can pay. I appreciate Matts honesty.
I haven't committed to a course of action yet, but bushings and shocks look like my next project. Maybe a rebushed Arf won't bite.
