Does any alignment need to be done after changing the strut rod bushings? I own a '98.
An alignment is needed after strut rod replacement, even though you mark the cambers when disassembling the suspension. You should watch tires for uneven wear closely if you decide not to do the alignment after R&R the strut rod.

this is only true for the poly ADUS bushings. (which is the bushing most use)
mine are: Lexus LS 400 (94-00) Front Strut Rod Bushing ADUS #531 .
have YOU heard ANYTHING bad about them?? I need to know because I plan on installing them this weekend... I already have them in the arms:
see?
that's the placebo effect since the strut bars are basically just a brace in our cars, and don't actually stiffen anything due to the double wishbone design...
I used the ADUS poly bushings and not a peep out of them. Didn't even grease them...I think its been about a year since i did it and its still all good.

Thanks, I will go with your report, I can always add a zerk fitting if they get noisy.....
