What I am saying is that just replacing the bad lower control arm bushings may fix the issue. If you then take it for an alinement and they cannot adjust it and it is eating tires up by all means get those kits if that is what is causing the problem.

Not only did I try new lower bushes from the factory, that did not allow alignment to factory spec. Bummer.
Then I tried modify the bracket the lower control arm is mounted and adjusts hoping the new MB LCA bushings would allow . Big mistake, waste of my energ. Did not work.
Also tried "do it yourself alignment...." on a garage floor slab in a 90 yr old cottage that is cracked, heaving up and down all over the place, the word level does not apply. Had to weld it back to original , apparently damaged from an accident.
Last resort was K-mac camber kit. What a relief it aligns, or it fools the alignment machine and printed result that is real close to spec now.
I live a 25 minute run from civilization so dropping it off for alignment is an extra logistic hassle.
