124 Alignment needed after rear work?
I just changed out my rear shocks and wheel carrier bushings. The car is riding nicely now, although I took it on a short highway run last night and felt like it was being affected by the crosswinds more than usual. I didn't think anything of it, but then today my girlfriend took it on a long highway drive and said it was boat-like. She had a crosswind, but it was only 20 mph at most, so it shouldn't have had much effect.
Should I look into getting an alignment after this work? Can you even align the back tires? (I'm still new to suspensions) From what I have read, wandering is usually a result of the torque arms becoming old, correct? I did notice that the bushings on mine were all but gone, although they were still very tight upon hand inspection. Plus, the car seemed alright before I had done any of this work. What do you all think? I was under the assumption that having new Bilsteins over the CarQuests and bushings that weren't disintegrated would bring it back to how it should be..I'll probably replace the torque arms and swaybar links anyway.
