I'm going to be replacing my shocks and springs, then over a week later replacing my bushings, then maybe a few months down getting new tires. So when should I get an alignment? After the new shocks? Or should I wait until after the bushings? Or after everything and the tires? It will be driven frequently, between each upgrade.

 

i would get it with either the bushings or the tires. make sure when you do the shocks that you rotate the front upper mount so that the strut is in and back. the mount has 4 holes but the strut is not centered in it

 

Sounds good, will do.



the reason I'm concerned about the alignment is that since I did my 5-lug swap, I've had a vibration in the steering wheel that wasn't there before. But I was told it could either be alignment, tires, or suspension, and that tires and bad suspension could also throw off alignment. So I figured I'd wait until I replaced these items to address the shaky wheel thing. It shakes in a way that I don't feel comfortable going over 70mph.
