changed the lower control arm bushings. Damn driver's side was a bisnitch! Then had to rotate the tires b/c the old bushings were so bad I guess they created some positive camber thus wearing the outer edge of my tires. Moved the rear tires straight forward. The rear has a slight negative camber.
Do you folks recommend I get another alignment anyway?

I was skeptical but I wanted to give a "fuel additive" a try.
Local autozone had buy 1 get 1 free on Chevron techron complete fuel system cleaner bottle (12oz) for $7.99, so I poured both in then filled up with gas.
