Don't get ripped at the alignment shop.

The castor and camber are all built into the cross memeber structure.

All that can be adjusted is the toe in. You can do that yourself in about twenty minutes if you take time for a brew or two.

BTW: Leave all of the fasteners loose and set the front hubs on a set of floor stands. Let the stands carry all of the weight and jounce the front of the car a few times before letting the whole mess sit quietly overnight.

Next morning tighten the nuts and install the cotter pins before installing the wheels and tires. This will take some of the torque strain off of the new bushings.
