BTW the forward rear control arm mounts wear out and separate from their 
housings. If the rubber is pushed out toward the front on these and you hear 
clunking noises on bumps, consider the cost of aligning again later vs. fixing it 
all now. You will not like the price (~$200/ea) of the forward bushings.  

One of the places I use has a solution to this expensive prollum - they pull those bushings off, reverse 'em and reinstall. Works great for another ~100k mi!
