I just got finished replacing the compliance bushing in my S2k (I'll try to put a DIY out there), my question is should I take the car to any alignment shop? I know that the lower control arm have some adjustment for the bolts that go through the compliance and wishbone bushings. Will an alignment shop check adjust those (I believe they are for caster and camber) or do they usually just adjust the toe from the tie rod? Should I take it to a stealership?

 

Yes, when you setup a car for an alignment it'll show all three measurements on the screen and the technician will adjust everything accordingly. I definitely recommend doing an alignment after any suspension work.

 

I plan on it. I just wanted to make sure that I took it to a place that would definitely check.

 

look for a place that has a hunter machine at the very least. i usually go to our local race shops that do alignment.

 

What machines should I stay away from?

 

Compliance bushings adjust caster.

 

not necessarily a certain machine. but its a good sign that a shop knows their alignment if they have a hunter machine. look for a local race shop and have them recommend you to a place if they do not have one. i wouldnt go to the stealership. they will over charge the hell out of you (most of the times) and a race shop can go with your settings (if you have any specific settings youd like)

I have to change my compliance bushing as well. im just waiting till end of season to cut them out. lol

 

Correct but i had to take the entire lower arm off to press in the bushing so I feel like both of them should be adjusted, Right?

you only did 1 side? i usually change pairs specially when it comes to alignment stuff.
