Default Compliance bearings

Hello! I know this topic has been covered before but I've spoken to a few people about this and haven't yet got a definitive answer - My s2k is an MY04 with 83k on the clock, and hasn't had the geo done before as far as I can tell. MOT advisories say that compliance bushings are worn, so I'm guessing I may need to replace them pretty shortly. When I do, do I have to get a geo setup? Obviously concerning as chances are very high that all geo bolts have seized at this point!

Thanks in advance for any info/advice!

Yes you should do it. Not only because of the new bushing but because the car needs it if you never have done it in that long.

Thanks for the advice! Do you know if it's actually 100% necessary though? I only ask because if the geo bolts have seized, I can't really afford replacement wishbones at the moment - could I get the compliance bushings done now, then the geo (and wishbone replacements if needed) done at a later date? Or does the geo have to be done if the bushings are replaced?

I've love to get it all sorted at once but it just won't be possible.
