Yes, you should, because when you put in all of the bushings, you have to remove a lower control arm that uses camber bolts. You can mark it to keep the same general alignment, but you need to get it aligned properly afterwards.

Is it just the bushings or does it come with a new Ball Joint for the UCA? Mine seems like it's going and might as well do this upgrade if I can install a new ball joint in the UCA instead of paying $650+ for a pair of UCAs at Seewell.

the ball joint on the UCA is not replaceable. U need new arms to get a fresh joint.

It does. You could always spend the money on Ikeya Formula UCA's if you wanted to, if you are going to spend the money, might as well upgrade, right?

I just received my shipping notification from TM early this morning. Looks like my control arm bushings are on their way.
